description: Gonadorelin Is A Decapeptide Composed Of The Sequence Of Amino Acids: 5-oxopro-his-trp-ser-tyr-gly-leu-arg-pro-gly-nh₂. It Has A Molecular Weight Of 1182.32 G/mol And Empirical Formula C₅₅ H₇₅ N₁₇ O₁₃. The Molecular Formula Of Its Acetate Is C₅₅ H₇₅ N₁₇ O₁₃ • C₂ H₄ O₂ With A Molecular Weight Of 1242.3 G/mol. Gonadorelin Acetate (45 µg/ml) Is Considered To Be Pharmaceutically Equivalent To Gonadorelin Diacetate Tetrahydrate (50 µg/ml) As They Are Both Equivalent To 43 µg/ml Of Gonadorelin.

gonadorelin Is The Hypothalamic Releasing Factor Responsible For The Release Of Gonadotropins (e.g., Lh, Fsh) From The Anterior Pituitary. Synthetic Gonadorelin Is Physiologically And Chemically Identical To The Endogenous Bovine Hypothalamic Releasing Factor.

active Ingredient: Each Ml Contains 45 µg Gonadorelin Acetate, (ph.eur.) Equivalent To 43 µg Gonadorelin. The Ph Was Adjusted With Sodium Phosphate (monobasic And Dibasic). Preservative: 9 Mg/ml Benzyl Alcohol.

pharmacology And Toxicology: Endogenous Gonadorelin Is Synthesized And Released By The Hypothalamus During Various Stages Of The Bovine Estrus Cycle Following Appropriate Neurogenic Stimuli. It Passes, Via The Hypophyseal Portal Vessels, To The Anterior Pituitary To Affect The Release Of Gonadotropins (e.g., Lh, Fsh). Synthetic Gonadorelin Administered Intramuscularly Also Causes The Release Of Endogenous Lh And Fsh From The Anterior Pituitary.

gonadorelin Has Been Shown To Have A Low Level Of Toxicity In Animals. The Ld₅₀ For Mice And Rats Is Greater Than 60 µg/kg, And For Dogs, Greater Than 600 µg/kg. Untoward Effects Were Not Noted Among Rats Or Dogs Administered 120 µg/kg/day Or 72 µg/kg/day Intravenously For 15 Days.

it Had No Adverse Effects On Heart Rate, Blood Pressure, Or Ecg To Unanesthetized Dogs At 60 µg/kg. In Anesthetized Dogs, It Did Not Produce Depression Of Myocardial Or Systemic Hemodynamics Or Adversely Affect Coronary Oxygen Supply Or Myocardial Oxygen Requirements.

the Intravenous Administration Of 60 µg/kg/day Of Gonadorelin To Pregnant Rats And Rabbits During Organogenesis Did Not Cause Embryotoxic Or Teratogenic Effects.

the Intramuscular Administration Of 1000 µg Gonadorelin To Normally Cycling Dairy Cattle Had No Effect On Hematology Or Blood Chemistry.

indications: Fertagyl^® 2 Is Indicated For The Treatment Of Ovarian Follicular Cysts In Dairy Cattle. Ovarian Cysts Are Non-ovulated Follicles With Incomplete Luteinization Which Result In Nymphomania Or Irregular Estrus.

historically, Cystic Ovaries Have Responded To An Exogenous Source Of Luteinizing Hormone (lh) Such As Human Chorionic Gonadotropin. Fertagyl^® 2 Initiates The Release Of Endogenous Lh To Cause Ovulation And Luteinization. The Average Time To Response Is 21 Days.

dosage And Administration: The Recommended Dosage Of Fertagyl^® 2 Is 2 Ml Per Cow As A Single Intramuscular Injection.

warning: Treated Animals Must Not Be Slaughtered For Use In Food For At Least 7 Days After The Latest Treatment With This Drug. Milk Taken From Treated Animals Within 12 Hours After The Latest Treatment With This Drug Must Not Be Used As Food.

storage: Store At 2-8°c. Protect From Light. Discard Unused Contents 28 Days After First Opening.

presentation: Fertagyl^® 2 Is Supplied In Multi-dose Vials Containing 20 Ml Of Sterile Solution.
