Megestrol Acetate Oral Suspension (generic) 40mg/mL (240 mL)

Megestrol Acetate Oral Suspension

Megestrol acetate is a synthetic progestin, a type of hormone commonly used in veterinary medicine to manage various reproductive and hormonal issues in pets. In cats, it effectively prevents them from going into heat and reduces the likelihood of pregnancy.

This medication can "halt" the estrus cycle (heat) in cats, making it an essential tool for managing breeding in multi-cat households or for controlling the reproductive cycles of female cats.

In male dogs, Megestrol acetate is used to treat benign prostatic hypertrophy, a condition characterized by an enlarged prostate. This medication helps relieve symptoms and manage the condition without the need for surgical intervention.

Key Features:

• Progestin Hormone: Acts as a synthetic progestin to manage reproductive and hormonal issues.
• Prevents Heat in Cats: Effectively halts the estrus cycle, preventing pregnancy.
• Treats Male Dogs: Used in male dogs to treat benign prostatic hypertrophy.
• Long-Acting: Provides relief for 4-6 weeks, with potentially longer effects in pets with kidney or liver disease.
• Liquid Suspension: Available in a convenient liquid form for easy administration.
