Research

FERTAGYL is a gonadorelin acetate and acts on the hypothalmus causing release of luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) to cause ovulation and luteinization. Research has shown FERTAGYL produces high ovulation rates and pregnancies per AI (artificial insemination).

Important Safety Information

FERTAGYL: Not for use in humans. Keep out of reach of children. For complete safety information, refer to the product label.

ESTRUMATE: Do not administer ESTRUMATE to a pregnant cow unless abortion is desired. Severe localized post-injection clostridial infections have been reported; in rare instances infection has led to death. Women of childbearing age, asthmatics, and persons with respiratory problems should exercise extreme caution when handling ESTRUMATE. ESTRUMATE is readily absorbed through the skin and can cause abortion and/or bronchospasms; direct contact with the skin should be avoided, and accidental spillage on the skin should be washed off immediately with soap and water. For complete safety information, refer to the product label.
