VETERELIN 4 microgram/ml Solution for Injection for Cattle, Horses, Pigs, and Rabbits

Treatment with a GnRH (gonadotrophin releasing hormone) analogue is only
symptomatic; the causes underlying a fertility disorder are not eliminated by this
treatment.

Special precautions for safe use in the target species:
In sows (sexually mature gilts), use of the veterinary medicinal product contrary to the
recommended protocols may result in the formation of follicular cysts which may
detrimentally affect fertility and prolificacy. An aseptic technique is recommended.
Special precautions to be taken by the person administering the veterinary medicinal
product to animals:
Avoid eye and skin contact with the solution for injection. In case of accidental eye
contact, rinse thoroughly with water. Should skin contact with the veterinary medicinal
product occur, wash the exposed area immediately with soap and water, as GnRH
analogues may be absorbed through the skin.
People with known hypersensitivity to buserelin or benzyl alcohol should avoid contact
with the veterinary medicinal product.
The veterinary medicinal product should not be administered by pregnant women, as
buserelin has been shown to be foetotoxic in laboratory animals.
Women of child-bearing age should administer the veterinary medicinal product with
caution.
When administering the veterinary medicinal product, care should be taken to avoid
accidental self-injection by ensuring that animals are suitably restrained and the
application needle is shielded until the moment of injection.
In case of accidental self-injection, seek medical advice immediately and show the
package leaflet or the label to the physician. Wash hands after use.
