Composition: Each reconstituted 5 ml contains:

• P.G. 600 – monodose: Chorionic gonadotrophin 200 i.u, Serum gonadotrophin 400 i.u. with Methylparaben 0,01 % m/v as preservative.
• P.G. 600 – 5 dose: Chorionic gonadotrophin 200 i.u, Serum gonadotrophin 400 i.u. with Methylparaben 0,004 % m/v as preservative.

Pharmacological Classification:
C.22.6 Female sex hormones.

Pharmacological Action:
P.G. 600 combines the two most important hormones playing a role in the development of follicles and their ovulation viz. FSH & LH. The combination of hormones promotes the development of a fertile oestrus cycle in the pig by stimulating the development of follicles and promoting ovulation and the formation of corpora lutea.

Indications:
The combination of gonadotrophins in P.G. 600 has been shown to be highly effective for the promotion of a fertile oestrus cycle in the pig.

• Gilts: Administration of a single dose of P.G. 600 to gilts over the age of five months will normally result in a fertile oestrus within five days.
• Sows post-weaning: To promote early post-partum oestrus (particularly where early weaning is practised), it is recommended that a single injection of P.G. 600 be given within 48 hours of weaning.
• Barren Sows: Cases of suboestrus or anoestrus due to hormonal imbalance (often associated with previous debility or stress) may respond favourably to a single dose of P.G. 600 exhibiting normal heat within five days of injection.

Contra-indications:
Animals known to be hypersensitive to P.G. 600.

Warnings:
There is no withdrawal period.

Note:
Synchronisation of oestrus: The use of P.G. 600 for all indications mentioned induces oestrus 3-6 days post treatment. Dissolve the lyophilized substance and inject the contents of a single dose vial (5 ml) subcutaneously behind the ear.

Preparation of the Solution 5 Dose Vial:
With the syringe a few ml of the solvent are transferred to the vial with the freeze-dried substance. Shake until dissolved. Transfer this solution to the solvent vial and mix thoroughly.

Side–effects and special precautions for use per species:
Anaphylactoid reactions may occur following administration.

Known symptoms of overdosage and particulars of its treatment per species:
In case of anaphylactoid reactions 2-3 ml adrenaline 1:1000 should be given intramuscularly.

Identification:
P.G. 600 is a white freeze-dried plug or powder packed in a clear glass vial. The solvent is a clear aqueous solution in a clear glass vial.

Storage Instructions:
