Pharmacokinetics of intra-rectal altrenogest in horses
A variety of problems may occur during late gestation that increase the risk of pregnancy loss or poor neonatal survival [1]. Causes may be pre-existing or arise during gestation, and be reproductive or non-reproductive in origin. Although the specific therapeutic plan for an individual mare will vary depending on the reason for their high-risk status, several orally administered agents are commonly used in many high-risk mares, regardless of the cause of risk to the fetus: altrenogest, flunixin meglumine, pentoxifylline, and broad-spectrum antibiotics [2].
