Most pet medications have significant side effects. To protect your pet from the negative effects of medications, in some cases it is advisable to use homeopathic remedies. One such homeopathic remedy is Ovariovit, an injectable medication for the treatment of the female genitourinary system, made from natural ingredients.
Composition and release form
The drug helps relieve the side effects of sterilization
The homeopathic remedy is produced in glass jars with a capacity of 10 or 100 ml, containing a solution for injections (intramuscular or subcutaneous).
The composition of Ovariovit is based on plant extracts:
- Prostel (sleep-grass) - stimulates the production of female sex hormones.
- Damiana - helps normalize blood circulation in the reproductive organs.
- Aquilegia - normalizes the function of the uterus and ovaries.
- Aristolochia - restores the female's hormonal balance.
The product also contains gold iodide (Aurum iodatum), which normalizes the functioning of the cardiovascular system and helps reduce ovarian cysts in dogs.
Ovariovit's therapeutic effect is enhanced by oyster shell extract (relieves inflammation) and Sepia, a substance derived from sea mollusks. The latter has a positive effect on the entire female reproductive system. Sodium chloride and water for injection are auxiliary components.
Store Ovariovit for dogs separately from food, out of the reach of children, at a temperature of 0 to 30°C. The shelf life of this homeopathic remedy is 3 years. Once opened, use within 3 weeks.
Prescription of the drug
False pregnancy is a complex psychophysical abnormality in the animal's hormonal system and in the body as a whole.
Ovariovit is a combination homeopathic remedy that has a comprehensive effect on the body: it restores the function of the sex glands, regulates the estrus cycle, stimulates hormone production and oogenesis.
The drug is prescribed to female dogs in the following cases:
- false pregnancy;
- problems with fertility;
- ovarian dysfunction.
Veterinarians often prescribe Ovariovit after treating a dog with hormonal drugs to restore the animal's endocrine system and genitourinary function.
Contraindications and possible side effects
Since Ovariovit is not a potent medication, it has no significant contraindications or side effects. However, in rare cases, an animal may develop an individual intolerance to the components of the homeopathic remedy.
The use of Ovariovit should be avoided if the dog is hypersensitive.
If allergic reactions occur, stop taking the product and prescribe antihistamines to the animal.
Instructions for use
Intramuscular injections are best given in the upper thigh.
The homeopathic remedy is administered subcutaneously or intramuscularly. The dosage is calculated at 0.1 ml per 1 kg of the dog's body weight. The maximum permissible dose for a single dose is 4 ml.
The scheme of using the drug depends on the goals:
- To stimulate sexual desire, the product is injected 1-2 times every 7 days for 30 days.
- To restore the genitourinary system after hormonal therapy, do it 2-3 times a week for a month.
- In case of a false pregnancy, injections are given every day for 5 days, then another 3-4 injections are given every other day.
- To prevent premature birth, Ovariovit is administered on the 5th and 10th day after fertilization.
- When using the drug during the treatment of endometritis with Mastometrin, injections are given every 3-4 days for 3 weeks.
How to inject the drug yourself, basic rules?
- Before use, the bottle cap should be wiped with medical alcohol.
- Use only sterile syringes and needles.
- It is better to wipe the area where the injection will be given with alcohol.
- If the injection is administered subcutaneously, it should be done in the fold at the withers; the depth of needle insertion should be 1-1.5 cm.
Precautionary measures
When working with a homeopathic remedy, it is advisable to follow the following recommendations:
- After using the product, wash your hands thoroughly;
- If the drug comes into contact with the skin or gets into the eyes or mouth, rinse them immediately with water;
- If allergic reactions occur or if the medicine accidentally enters the human body, you must consult a doctor (you must present the package insert or the bottle with the medicine at the appointment).
Advantages and disadvantages
This drug should not be used as the only medicine to treat diseases.
Ovariovit has a number of advantages. The main ones are:
- safe to use (no side effects, natural composition);
- the ability to choose a small (10 ml) or large (100 ml) bottle;
- low price (about 350 rubles for a 10 ml bottle);
- long shelf life - up to 3 years.
The main disadvantages of the drug are its unproven effectiveness and the fact that only an injectable form is available for sale.
Analogues
The only complete analogue of Ovariovit is Ovarium compositum. This medication is produced as an injection solution.
Gormel is often prescribed to normalize ovarian function. Like Ovariovit, it is made from plant, mineral, and animal components. The main difference is that it can be administered intravenously, along with subcutaneous and intramuscular injections.
Ovariovit is recommended for use in dogs when a female's genitourinary disorder is a symptom of another condition or is related to dietary or nutritional deficiencies. This homeopathic remedy can also be used in combination with medications to enhance their effectiveness or to speed recovery after drug therapy. Pet owners should understand that Ovariovit is not a cure and cannot treat severe uterine or ovarian conditions.
