Presentation A light yellow oily solution for oral administration. Each ml contains 2.2mg altrenogest. Uses In mares with significant follicular activity during the transitional period between seasonal anoestrus and in the breeding season (follicles of at least 20-25mm present at the beginning of treatment): - Suppression/prevention of oestrus (usually after 1 to 3 days of treatment) during prolonged periods of oestrus. - Control of the time of initiation of oestrus (approximately 90% of mares show signs of oestrus within 5 days following the end of treatment) and synchronisation of ovulation (60% of mares ovulate between days 11 and 14 following the end of treatment). In order to ensure effective use of the product, the transitional status of mares showing some follicular activity should first be established. Dosage and administration For oral administration. 1ml Regumate Equine per 50kg bodyweight (0.044mg altrenogest per kg) per day for 10 consecutive days.
