Galastop 15ml Oral Solution

61463

£53.08 (inc. VAT)

Galastop 15ml is a medication used to treat false pregnancy in dogs, and it can also be used to treat mastitis. It is an oral medicine that can be fed to animals by mixing it in food or fluids.

15ml Galastop is an ergoline derivative with a potent selective and long-lasting inhibitory effect on prolactin secretion. Prolactin is the key hormone for lactogenesis and for the initiation and maintenance of lactation after parturition. Furthermore the aetiology of false pregnancy is currently thought to be mediated by rising prolactin levels stimulated by falling progesterone levels during the course of metoestrus.

Description

Galastop may only be supplied with a valid veterinary prescription issued by your vet. You should only purchase Galastop if you have or are in the process of arranging such a prescription. See information bar for further details.  

Galastop is a pale yellow viscous non aqueous solution for oral administration containing 50ug/ml cabergoline in a miglyol base.

Galastop is an ergoline derivative with a potent selective and long-lasting inhibitory effect on prolactin secretion. Prolactin is the key hormone for lactogenesis and for the initiation and maintenance of lactation after parturition. Furthermore the aetiology of false pregnancy is currently thought to be mediated by rising prolactin levels stimulated by falling progesterone levels during the course of metoestrus. Treatment of false pregnancy in bitches Inhibition of prolactin secretion by cabergoline results in a rapid resolution of the signs of false pregnancy including lactation and behavioural changes. Suppression of lactation in bitches Suppression of lactation in the bitch may be required under certain clinical circumstances (for example following removal of puppies soon after birth or following early weaning). Inhibition of prolactin secretion by Galastop results in a rapid cessation of lactation and a reduction in the size of the mammary glands.  

Dosage and administration
Galastop should be administered orally either directly into the mouth or by mixing with food. The dosage is 0.1 ml/kg bodyweight (equivalent to 5 ug/kg body weight of cabergoline) once daily for 4-6 consecutive days depending on the severity of the clinical condition. For dogs less that 5 kg bodyweight it is advisable to measure the dosage in drops 3 drops being equivalent to 0.1 ml. If the signs fail to resolve after a single course of treatment or if they recur after the end of treatment then the course of treatment may be repeated. For treatment of false pregnancy clinical studies have demonstrated efficacy between 80-100%. Behavioural signs are alleviated first followed by reduction in mammary gland enlargement then finally suppression of lactation.

Contra-indications warnings etc
Do not use in pregnant animals since Galastop may cause abortion. Do not use in lactating bitches unless suppression of lactation is required. Galastop may induce transient hypotension in treated animals. Do not use in animals concurrently being treated with hypotensive drugs. Do not use directly after surgery whilst the animal is still under the influence of the anaesthetic agents. Since cabergoline exerts its therapeutic effect by direct stimulation of dopamine receptors Galastop should not be administered concurrently with drugs which have dopamine antagonist activity (such as phenothiazines butyrophenones) as these might reduce its prolactin inhibiting effects. Vomiting or anorexia may occur after the first one or two doses in a small proportion of cases. There is no need to discontinue treatment unless vomiting is severe or it persists beyond the second dose. In some animals a degree of drowsiness may be seen in the first 2 days of dosing. The experimental data indicate that a single overdose with Galastop might result in an increased likelihood of post-treatment vomiting and possibly an increase in post-treatment hypotension. General supportive measures should be undertaken to remove any unabsorbed drug and maintain blood pressure if necessary. It is unlikely that the administration of dopamine antagonist drugs would be necessary but this course of action could be considered. For animal treatment only. Keep out of reach and sight of children.   Pharmaceutical precautions Store below 25C. Protect from light. Do not refrigerate. After opening use the product within 28 days.

Zentonil Advanced 400mg Liver Tablets for Dogs - Pack of 30

Zentonil Advanced 400mg Liver Tablets for Dogs - Pack of 30

Zentonil Advanced 400mg is a nutritional aid supplement that may serve as an aid in all cases where the liver is under stress. The liver naturally produces antioxidants, with glutathione being the primary one. This antioxidant is pivotal in preserving the liver's normal function. However, in situations where the liver faces challenges, the production of glutathione may decrease.

Zentonil includes a pure stabilised salt of S-Adenosylmethionine (SAM-e) combined with Silybin in a tablet form for dogs. SAMe, or S-adenosylmethionine, is a naturally occurring molecule in the body, playing a role in the formation, activation, or breakdown of other chemicals in the body, including hormones, proteins, and phospholipids. In the context of liver health, SAMe is crucial as it aids in the production of glutathione, thereby supporting the liver's antioxidant capacity.

Unlike other forms of SAM-e supplementation, Zentonil tablets are enterically coated to prevent SAM-e being digested by stomach acid. This ensures that the maximum amount of Zentonil is available for absorption from the duodenum.

400mg Zentonil Advanced also contains silybin, an active component of milk thistle. Silybin not only supports the production of glutathione but also aids in liver regeneration. This dual-action of SAMe and silybin makes Zentonil 400 for Dogs a comprehensive solution for liver support.
