Pilucat 5mg 12 tablets

Pilucat is indicated for cats in the following situations:

• Heat prevention;
• Interruption of lactation due to pseudo-pregnancy;
• Treatment of pseudo-pregnancy;
• Treatment of satiriasis in males;
• Treatment of eosinophilic granuloma and feline miliary dermatitis with or without alopecia or pruritus.

Active substance: 5 mg of megestrol acetate

Megestrol acetate shares the same pharmacological activities as other progestants: alteration of secretory capacity at the level of the endometrium, increase in basal body temperature and inhibition of the pituitary.

In animals, megestrol acetate inhibits ovulation, having an antigonadotrophic, antiuterotrophic and antiandrogenic / antimyotrophic effect. It has a slight glucocorticoid activity devoid of anti-inflammatory, anabolic and androgenic properties and a very slight mineralocorticoid activity.

The effect of megestrol acetate, as an estrus inhibiting agent, is due to a suppression of follicle development that is obtained by limiting the pituitary of the hypothalamus, leading to a suppression of FSH.
