Suprelorin 12 9.4 mg implant for dogs – long-acting, reversible fertility control for male dogs and ferrets

Suprelorin 12 9.4 mg implant for dogs is a prescription only veterinary medicine containing deslorelin, a long-acting hormone analogue. It is designed to provide temporary chemical castration in male dogs and ferrets by suppressing the hormones that control fertility and testosterone production. This offers an alternative to permanent surgical castration in situations where a reversible option is preferred.

This product contains 2 sterile Suprelorin implants, each delivering 9.4 mg deslorelin. The implant is placed under the skin by a veterinary surgeon, usually in the area between the shoulders or as advised by your vet. Once in place, it slowly releases deslorelin over time to reduce reproductive hormone activity. The duration of effect and the exact timing of fertility suppression can vary between individuals, so monitoring and follow-up with your vet are important.

Why Suprelorin 12 9.4 mg implant for dogs may be used

Your vet may recommend Suprelorin 12 9.4 mg implant for dogs as part of a management plan for:

• Temporary chemical castration in male dogs when permanent surgical castration is not desired

• Assessment of how castration might affect behaviour or medical conditions before deciding on surgery

• Certain medical or behavioural conditions influenced by testosterone, where your vet feels hormone suppression may help

• Fertility control in male ferrets, under appropriate veterinary guidance

Suprelorin 12 9.4 mg implant for dogs provides a reversible option. After the implant’s effect wears off and depending on the individual, fertility may gradually return. Your vet will advise how long the implant is expected to last for your dog or ferret and whether repeat implants are appropriate.

How Suprelorin 12 9.4 mg implant for dogs is given

Suprelorin 12 9.4 mg implant for dogs is not a tablet or liquid; it is a small implant that must be administered by a veterinary professional using a specialised applicator. The procedure is similar to giving a microchip or other subcutaneous implant. Owners should not attempt to place or remove the implant themselves.

Because Suprelorin 12 9.4 mg implant for dogs affects reproductive hormones, there may be a short initial phase where testosterone levels temporarily rise before dropping. Your vet will explain what to expect in terms of timing, when fertility is likely to be suppressed and which behaviour changes may occur.

POM-V prescription only medicine

Suprelorin 12 9.4 mg implant for dogs is classified as a POM-V (Prescription Only Medicine – Veterinary) in the UK. This means:

• It can only be supplied against a valid prescription from a veterinary surgeon

• It must only be used for the animal named on the prescription

• Decisions about starting, repeating or stopping treatment must be made by your vet

If you have any concerns about your dog’s or ferret’s response to Suprelorin, you should contact your vet rather than altering or stopping treatment on your own.

Monitoring and follow-up

While your pet is on Suprelorin 12 9.4 mg implant for dogs, your vet may recommend regular check-ups to assess:

• Fertility status, if breeding control is the main aim

• Behavioural changes, such as mounting, roaming or urine marking

• Any medical conditions being managed, such as prostate issues or hormone-related problems

• General health, weight and body condition

Your vet will advise when to review the effect of the implant and whether another implant is needed to maintain chemical castration if required.

Safety and precautions

As with any medicine, Suprelorin 12 9.4 mg implant for dogs may not be suitable for every animal. Your vet will consider your dog’s or ferret’s age, overall health and any existing medical issues before prescribing. You should mention any other medicines or supplements your pet is taking so the vet can check for potential interactions.

Contact your vet promptly if you notice any unexpected changes after the implant, such as swelling or discomfort at the implantation site, marked behaviour changes, appetite loss or any other signs that worry you. Your vet can then decide whether further examination or treatment is needed.

Storage and handling

Suprelorin 12 9.4 mg implant for dogs should be stored according to the instructions on the packaging and handled by veterinary professionals. As an owner, you should keep the pack out of sight and reach of children and other animals until it is taken to your vet for use. Any unused or expired implants should be returned to your vet for safe disposal.

Summary

Suprelorin 12 9.4 mg implant for dogs is a long-acting deslorelin implant used for temporary chemical castration and fertility control in male dogs and ferrets. It provides a reversible alternative to surgical castration and can help manage hormone-related behaviours and reproductive activity when used under veterinary supervision. Each pack contains 2 implants (1 x 2), and treatment decisions must always be guided by your vet.
