| Popis: | Control of reproduction in companion animals is ensured both by surgical sterilization and by the administration of contraceptive medication. Since most progestogens have frequent severe adverse effects, long-acting gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) agonists, such as deslorelin, are now more commonly used. The advantages of the deslorelin implant are easy administration, increased efficiency over a long period of time, safety of use and reversibility of sterilization. Apart from using the implant as a contraceptive method, it can be administered in the therapy of conditions such as benign prostatic hyperplasia or in the treatment of behavioral disorders (aggression, excessive marking). The purpose of this short review is to present the advantages of using the deslorelin implant in pets and to highlight its effectiveness in controlling thier reproduction. |
