| Indications | Cattle. Oestrus and ovulation. To more effectively control the time of oestrus cycling cattle. Individual cows or heifers treated during dioestrus will normally return to oestrus and ovulate within two to four days after treatment. (Note. Administration to cattle within four days after oestrus is unlikely to result in luteolysis of the corpus luteum. Administration within 48 hours before the onset of the next oestrus may not influence the timing of that oestrus after treatment.) Suboestrus or silent heat. Cattle with a functional corpus luteum but not expressing normal behavioural oestrus.Individual cattle may have normal cyclical ovarian activity without detectable behavioural oestrus; this occurs most frequently in the winter months, at peak lactation in high producing dairy cows, and in suckled beef cows. If a corpus luteum is present and ovulation has not occurred in the previous four to five days, administration will result in corpus luteum regression followed by return to oestrus and ovulation.Breeding of cattle treated with PGF2α for the above indication may be by natural service, artificial insemination at the usual time in relation to observed oestrus, or by fixed time insemination (78 hours or 72 and 96 hours post-treatment). Abortion. To induce abortion in cattle from five to 150 days gestation. Up to day 70, the interval from treatment to abortion is usually less than four days; between days 80 and 120, less than seven days; but beyond day 150, less than 60% may abort within three weeks even with doses of 35 mg or greater. Following abortion, foetal membranes may be retained. Death may result from ruptured uterus, especially if cervical dilatation does not occur. Parturition. To induce parturition on or after day 270 of gestation in cattle. The interval from administration to parturition is one to eight days (average three days). Induction of parturition in cattle is indicated where there is risk of oversize calves or where early parturition is desired. In addition, induction is indicated where pregnacies are complicated by miscellaneous conditions, e.g. mummified or macerated foetuses, hydrops amnii and hydroallantois. Use is indicated for expulsion of a dead foetus. Controlled breeding. Indicated for its luteolytic effect in cattle which can be utilised to control the timing of oestrus in oestrus cycling cattle that have a corpus luteum. The identified activity of Lutalyse permits a wide range of oestrus control programs for normally cycling animals, at least 35 days after calving.Horses. Oestrus and ovulation in cycling animals. Control the time of oestrus and ovulation in oestrus cycling horses.Mares treated with Lutalyse during dioestrus return to oestrus within two to four days in most cases and ovulate eight to twelve days after treatment. (Note. Administration to horses within four days after oestrus is unlikely to result in luteolysis of the corpus luteum. Administration within 48 hours before onset of the next oestrus may not influence the timing of that oestrus after treatment.) Horses difficult to breed. In extended dioestrus there is failure to exhibit regular oestrous cycles which is different from true anoestrus. Many mares described as anoestrus during the breeding season have serum progesterone levels consistent with the presence of a functional corpus luteum. A proportion of ‘barren’ maiden and lactating mares do not exhibit regular oestrus cycles and may be in extended dioestrus. Following abortion, early foetal death and resorption, or as a result of pseudopregnancy, there may be serum progesterone levels consistent with a functional corpus luteum. Treatment of such mares usually results in regression of the corpus luteum followed by oestrus and/or ovulation. Abortion. May be used to terminate pregnancy in mares through its luteolytic effect during those stages of pregnancy in which the corpus luteum is sensitive to its action and in which maintenance of pregnancy is dependent upon the corpus luteum as the sole source of progesterone.Up to day 35 of pregnancy luteal regression with Lutalyse will induce abortion; response to treatment between days 40 and 90 of gestation is less predictable possibly due to pregnant mare serum gonadotrophin (PMSG) secretion from the endometrial cups rendering the corpus luteum refractory to the luteolytic effects of PGF2α. Between days 90 and 120 of pregnancy, luteal regression may lead to abortion.Death may result from ruptured uterus, especially if cervical dilation does not occur.Swine. Parturition. To induce parturition in swine Lutalyse may be administered on day 111 to 113 (i.e. three days before farrowing). Response to treatment varies in individual animals with a mean interval from administration to parturition of approximately 33 hours. This can be advantageously employed to control the time of farrowing in sows and gilts in late gestation. Treatment earlier than three days prior to predicted farrowing date may produce weak piglets, resulting in reduced survival. |

What is Lutalyse?
Lutalyse is a medication commonly used in veterinary medicine to induce estrus (heat) in animals, particularly in cattle, pigs, and horses. It contains the active ingredient dinoprost tromethamine, which is a synthetic prostaglandin analogue. Animals may need Lutalyse for various reasons, including: 1. Synchronization of estrus: Lutalyse can be used to synchronize the estrous cycle in groups of animals, making breeding management more efficient. 2. Induction of parturition: In some cases, Lutalyse may be used to induce labor in pregnant animals that are overdue or experiencing complications. 3. Treatment of reproductive disorders: Lutalyse can also be used to treat certain reproductive disorders in animals, such as pyometra (uterine infection) in dogs. It is important to use Lutalyse under the guidance of a veterinarian, as dosage and timing are critical to its effectiveness and safety.
What problems could my pet have with Lutalyse?
While Lutalyse is generally considered safe and effective when used properly under the guidance of a veterinarian, there are some potential problems or side effects that may occur in pets: 1. **Local Irritation**: Lutalyse is typically administered via injection, which can sometimes cause local irritation at the injection site. This may manifest as redness, swelling, or discomfort. 2. **Systemic Effects**: In some cases, pets may experience systemic effects such as mild fever, lethargy, or behavioral changes after receiving Lutalyse. These effects are usually temporary and resolve on their own. 3. **Uterine Contractions**: Since Lutalyse is used to induce estrus or parturition, there is a risk of excessive uterine contractions in some animals. This can lead to discomfort, restlessness, or even complications during labor. 4. **Allergic Reactions**: While rare, some pets may be allergic to Lutalyse or its components, leading to allergic reactions such as itching, hives, or difficulty breathing. Immediate veterinary attention is necessary if an allergic reaction occurs. 5. **Miscarriage**: If Lutalyse is used in pregnant animals for inducing parturition, there is a risk of miscarriage if the timing or dosage is not appropriate. It is crucial to follow the veterinarian's instructions carefully in such cases. 6. **Reproductive Disorders**: In some cases, underlying reproductive disorders or conditions in pets may interact with Lutalyse treatment, leading to unexpected outcomes or complications. Close monitoring by a veterinarian is essential in such situations. It is important to discuss any concerns or potential risks with your veterinarian before using Lutalyse in your pet. Your veterinarian can provide personalized guidance and monitoring to ensure the safe and effective use of this medication for your pet's specific needs.
Is there anything I need to know about administering Lutalyse?
Administering Lutalyse should always be done under the guidance and supervision of a veterinarian. Here are some key points to keep in mind when administering Lutalyse to your pet: 1. **Dosage and Timing**: The dosage and timing of Lutalyse administration are crucial for its effectiveness and safety. Follow your veterinarian's instructions carefully regarding the correct dosage for your pet's specific condition and the appropriate timing of administration. 2. **Injection Technique**: Lutalyse is typically administered via injection. Ensure that you are trained by your veterinarian on the proper injection technique to minimize the risk of local irritation and ensure accurate dosing. 3. **Injection Site**: Pay attention to the injection site to monitor for any signs of local irritation, such as redness, swelling, or discomfort.
