SUPRELORIN^® F (deslorelin acetate) Implant (4.7 mg)

• Single annual implant to manage pet ferret adrenal cortical disease (ACD)
  • ACD is one of the most commonly diagnosed diseases in the domestic ferret (about 70% of ferrets in U.S. are affected)³
  • This disease is caused by excessive secretion of the sex hormones progesterone, testosterone and estrogen by the adrenal gland^2,4
• Active ingredient: deslorelin acetate
  • Slow release of deslorelin acetate (synthetic Gonadotropin Releasing Hormone analogue), desensitizes receptors in the pituitary gland causing a decreased production of LH and FSH (hormones that stimulate the adrenal glands)³
• Common signs (alopecia, vulvar swelling, skin disorders/itching, unusual sexual behavior, lethargy) reduced quickly after application – usually in 2-8 weeks depending on the sign⁵
• Available in 2 or 5 implants per box​
