BARRIER tablets for female cats and female dogs
A humane solution to a delicate problem
Description and Action
BARRIER is a bihormonal drug that contains two analogues of natural sex hormones. Such a modern composition allows:
- to reduce sexual arousal;
- to delay and interrupt estrus, to regulate the period of its onset;
- prevent unwanted pregnancy within 24 hours after an accidental mating.
Method of Application
The drug can be given to a pet in several ways:
- Directly into the mouth;
- give it along with a small amount of feed.
Mechanism of Action
The gestagen (mepregenolacetate) and estrogen (ethinyl estradiol) included in the drug, acting on the hypothalamic-pituitary system of animals, reduce the secretion of gonadotropins (FSH and LH) from the pituitary gland. As a result, folliculogenesis in the ovaries is inhibited and follicle ovulation stops.
Ethinyl estradiol in combination with mepregenolacetate enhances the contraceptive effect by changing the biological properties of the vaginal environment, increases the viscosity of cervical mucus, which inhibits sperm motility, and changes in the endometrium of the uterus prevent implantation of a fertilized egg.
