•

Reconstitute the solution for injection with the solvent provided and ensure its complete
reconstitution just prior to its use.
The reconstituted solution appears clear and colourless.
Cows and horses: 1500 to 5000 IU (corresponding to 1.5 to 5mL of the reconstituted
solution)
Ovine, caprine and porcine: 500 to 1500 IU (corresponding to 0.5 to 1.5mL of the
reconstituted solution)

sex hormones.
Do not use in cases of hypersensitivity to the active substance(s) or to any of the
excipient(s).

Cattle, horses, sheep, goats, pigs, cats and dogs.
Rare
(1 to 10 animals / 10 000
animals treated):
Anaphylaxis.
1
immediate after injection. Depending on the course and severity of symptoms,
adrenalin injection or glucocorticosteroids administration are indicated as a standard
treatment after the onset of anaphylactic reaction.
Reporting adverse events is important. It allows continuous safety monitoring of a
veterinary medicinal product. Reports should be sent, preferably via a veterinarian, to
either the marketing authorisation holder or its local representative or the national
competent authority via the national reporting system. See the package leaflet for
respective contact details.

As with all products containing proteins, anaphylactoid reactions may occur in rare
cases. Treatment with adrenaline and glucocorticoids should be instituted promptly.
In mares, repeated chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) treatments may elicite formation of
antibodies leading to reduced treatment responses.
For effective induction of ovulation in mares, the ovarian follicle should have reached
a diameter of 30-35 mm.
As cryptorchidism may be inherited and efficacy of hormonal treatment is limited,
chorionic gonadotrophin (hCG) in dogs and foals should be administered only after a
thorough benefit/risk assessment by the veterinarian.

Special precautions for safe use in the target species:
Intravenous injection should be given slowly.
Special precautions to be taken by the person administering the veterinary medicinal
product to animals:
The veterinary medicinal product can provoke eye or skin irritation.
Studies performed with laboratory animals have shown dose-dependent teratogenic
effects and testicular necrosis after subcutaneous injection.
People with known hypersensitivity to hCG should avoid contact with the veterinary
medicinal product.
Avoid contact with skin.
The veterinary medicinal product should not be administered by pregnant women or
whose pregnancy status is unknown.
Care should be taken to avoid accidental self-injection.
