Lutalyse side effects

    • Abdominal discomfort
    • Increased respiration rate
    • Increased heart rate
    These reactions typically occur within 15 minutes of injection and resolve within an hour. Even while experiencing a reaction, mares typically continue eating. In a study of several hundred mares on Lutalyse, a single anaphylactic reaction was reported, but was not substantiated.

    • Vomiting (at a dose of 100mg)
    • Salivation
    • Increased vocalization

    What to know before using Lutalyse
    • Pregnancy status should be determined in mares prior to injection. This medication can induce parturition and abortion.
    • Mares with subacute or acute disorders of the reproductive tract, respiratory system, gastrointestinal tract, or vascular system should not take this medication.
    • Employ aggressive antibiotic treatment at the first sign of injection site infection, whether diffuse or localized.
    • Never administer intravenously.
    • Prostaglandin synthesis can be inhibited with concurrent NSAID use. Do not administer with any other NSAID.
    • Never administer to pregnant cattle, except in cases where abortion is desired.
    • Cattle on progestin will have reduced response to this injection.
    • Never administer to gilts or sows before 3 days of predicted normal farrowing. An increased rate of postnatal mortality and stillbirths can occur.
    • This injection is not effective if it is administered before day 5 following ovulation in mares.
    • A severe localized clostridial infection can occur and, rarely, result in death.
    • Not for use in animals intended for food slaughter.
    • Drug residues can result when administered in any dose greater than approved.
    • No withdrawal period is required before slaughter of swine.
    • No pre-slaughter or milk discard is required for cattle.
    • Do not administer to humans.
    • Keep away from children.
    • Humans with respiratory or bronchial issues, asthmatics, and women of childbearing age must use extreme caution in the handling of this product. In early stages, a woman can be unaware of pregnancy. This medication is easily and readily absorbed into the skin, which can cause bronchospasm and/or abortion.
    • Accidental skin spillage must be immediately washed off using soap and water.
