Chorulon 1500 IU – What It Does
Chorulon 1500 IU powder and solvent for solution for injection contains human chorionic gonadotrophin (hCG). This hormone has luteinising hormone (LH) activity.

Vets use Chorulon in cattle, horses and dogs to support the management of specific fertility problems. It forms part of a wider breeding and reproductive plan rather than a stand-alone solution.

Benefits of Chorulon 1500 IU

✔ Supports veterinary treatment of selected fertility problems
✔ Used in cattle, horses and dogs under specialist guidance
✔ Helps induce ovulation in suitable mares and bitches
✔ Used for some ovarian problems in cows and heifers
✔ Can support treatment plans for certain male dog fertility issues
✔ Supplied with matching solvent vials for correct reconstitution

How Chorulon Works
Chorulon 1500 IU powder and solvent for solution for injection provides human chorionic gonadotrophin. This hormone mimics the effect of luteinising hormone in the body.

In females, hCG can help final follicle maturation, ovulation and corpus luteum formation when used at the right time. In males, it can stimulate testosterone production and support some aspects of reproductive function.

The exact role of Chorulon in a plan depends on the species, the problem found and the timing within the cycle. Your vet decides how and when to use it after a full fertility work-up.

When Vets May Use Chorulon
Vets may use Chorulon 1500 IU powder and solvent for solution for injection in:

• Cattle
To support treatment of some ovarian problems and repeat breeding issues in cows and heifers.

• Horses
To help induce ovulation in suitable mares as part of a timed breeding plan.

• Dogs
To assist with some fertility problems in bitches and specific male dog issues, such as libido concerns, where hCG is appropriate.

These examples are always under veterinary control. Chorulon is never a first step without examination, history and, often, further tests.

How Chorulon Is Given
Chorulon 1500 IU is supplied as:

• 5 vials of freeze-dried powder, each with 1500 IU hCG

• 5 vials of 5 ml buffered sterile solvent

Your vet reconstitutes the powder using the supplied solvent. They ensure the powder dissolves fully before drawing up the solution. The injection is then given by the chosen route, usually intramuscular or intravenous, following the product information.

Only a vet, or someone they have specifically instructed, should prepare and inject Chorulon. The vet will decide:

• The total dose for the animal

• The route of injection

• The timing in relation to the cycle or planned mating

• Whether any repeat doses are needed

Owners should not attempt to adjust dose or schedule themselves.

Safety Information
Chorulon 1500 IU powder and solvent for solution for injection is a POM-V medicine. Only a veterinary surgeon can prescribe and supply it, and it must only be used for the named animal under their care.

Important points:

• Use exactly as your vet and the label direct

• Do not mix the reconstituted solution with other medicines in the same syringe

• Any unused solution after the recommended in-use period should be discarded safely

• Tell your vet about any previous reactions or existing health problems

People handling the product should avoid accidental self-injection and wash hands after use. Store the vials as directed on the packaging, in the original carton, and keep them out of sight and reach of children and animals. Return any unused or expired product to your vet or pharmacist for safe disposal.

Used as part of a full fertility assessment and breeding plan, Chorulon 1500 IU powder and solvent for solution for injection can be an important tool for vets managing selected reproductive problems in cattle, horses and dogs.
