DESCRIPTION
Lacto-Stop - a drug for eliminating the symptoms of false pregnancy; prevention and treatment of conditions caused by hyperprolactinemia in dogs and cats. In appearance it is a solution for oral administration.

Lacto-stop in 1 ml contains 50 Ојg of cabergoline and auxiliary components as an active ingredient.
PHARMACOLOGICAL PROPERTIES
Cabergoline, which is part of the drug, is a derivative of ergot alkaloids, a long-acting dopamine D2 receptor agonist. The drug stimulates the indicated receptors of the pituitary gland, causes a pronounced and prolonged inhibition of the secretion of the anterior lobe hormone - prolactin, preventing and suppressing physiological lactation and the psycho-physical changes associated with this process, restores the sexual cycle, fertilizing ability, eliminates the signs of false pregnancy in bitches. In large doses, cabergoline has a central dopaminergic effect.
When administered orally, cabergoline is metabolized in the liver, binding to plasma proteins is 40 - 42%. The time of the onset of the maximum effect is noted 48 hours after the application of the drug. Cabergoline, its metabolites are well distributed in tissues, but do not pass through the blood-placental barrier; in animal studies, more than 100-fold excess of the concentration of cabergoline, its metabolites in the pituitary gland, compared with the content in blood plasma, has been revealed. Cabergoline and metabolites are excreted by the kidneys and intestines (22% and 60%, respectively) within several days, with milk and less than 4% of the substance is found in urine unchanged.
In animals with moderate and severe renal insufficiency, no changes in cabergoline pharmacokinetics were found. Lacto-Stop, according to the degree of impact on the body of warm-blooded animals, belongs to low-hazard substances and in recommended doses does not have a sensitizing and local irritating effect.
INDICATIONS
Lacto-Stop is prescribed to eliminate the symptoms of false pregnancy, as well as to prevent lactational mastitis during early weaning of puppies and kittens, to prevent physiological lactation and treat disorders caused by hyperprolactinemia, including in animals with a history of pituitary adenoma (micro and macroprolactinoma) and with idiopathic hyperprolactinemia.

Metoclopramide is used as an antidote.
CONTRAINDICATIONS
