Timolol for Animals

Veterinary Drug Index

Timolol Timolol is a nonselective beta-adrenergic blocker used topically for ocular pressure control. Veterinary applications commonly involve combination treatment with a carbonic anhydrase inhibitor. It also has a prophylactic role in selected fellow eyes of dogs with unilateral primary glaucoma. The magnitude of pressure reduction differs among species and disease states. Group Ophthalmic nonselective beta-blocker

Dorzolamide for Animals

Veterinary Drug Index

Dorzolamide Dorzolamide is a topical carbonic anhydrase inhibitor used to lower intraocular pressure. Its veterinary role includes primary and selected secondary glaucomas in dogs and cats, with additional equine applications. It is available alone or with timolol. Its pressure-lowering effect principally reflects reduced aqueous-humor formation rather than alteration of pupil size. Group Topical carbonic anhydrase

Equine Chorionic Gonadotropin (eCG/PMSG) for Animals

Veterinary Drug Index

Equine Chorionic Gonadotropin (eCG/PMSG) Equine chorionic gonadotropin, historically called pregnant mare serum gonadotropin, is a glycoprotein hormone obtained from pregnant mares. It has FSH- and LH-like activity in non-equine species and is used to promote follicular development. Veterinary applications include anestrus treatment, reproductive synchronization and superovulation within species-specific fertility programs. Group Gonadotropin; FSH- and LH-like

Progesterone for Animals

Veterinary Drug Index

Progesterone Progesterone is the natural luteal steroid hormone essential to regulation of the estrous cycle and support of pregnancy. Veterinary preparations provide controlled progestational exposure in reproductive-management protocols. A principal application is synchronization of estrus or ovulation in cattle, including selected noncycling animals, using an appropriate sustained-release product. Group Progestogen hormone Mechanism of Action Progesterone

Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (hCG) for Animals

Veterinary Drug Index

Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (hCG) Human chorionic gonadotropin is a glycoprotein hormone with predominantly luteinizing-hormone-like activity. Veterinary therapeutic uses include induction of ovulation and treatment of selected reproductive disorders. It acts directly at gonadal receptors, distinguishing it from GnRH analogues that stimulate pituitary gonadotropin release. Diagnostic gonadal-response testing is a separate application. Group Gonadotropin; predominantly LH-like

Buserelin for Animals

Veterinary Drug Index

Buserelin Buserelin is a potent synthetic gonadotropin-releasing hormone analogue used in veterinary reproduction. Its principal applications rely on pituitary gonadotropin release to induce ovulation or coordinate reproductive events. Clinical protocols include selected ovarian disorders and timed-insemination programs in cattle, with additional supported uses in mares and rabbits. Group GnRH agonist Mechanism of Action Buserelin binds
