Suprelorin F Implant for Ferrets
Suprelorin F Implant is a once-yearly, subcutaneous implant that assists in the management of adrenal disease in ferrets. Ferrets are at risk of adrenocortical disease (ACD) – a disease that, if left untreated, can greatly affect a ferret’s quality of life and can even be fatal. Because of the nature of ACD in ferrets, there is no true cure for the condition. Suprelorin F allows ferret owners to have a simple, convenient medical alternative for controlling the clinical signs of the disease.
Suprelorin® F (4.7 mg) Implant is a controlled release implant containing the GnRH agonist deslorelin. Deslorelin acetate suppresses the reproductive endocrine system, preventing production of pituitary and gonadal hormones. Deslorelin acetate has not been shown to reduce the size of adrenal tumors and is not considered curative. Studies have shown that the most common signs of ACD are all reduced quickly after implantation of the Suprelorin F Implant, and most resolve for up to one year.
All prescription items are Non-Refundable and Non-Returnable.
Benefits of Suprelorin F Implant
- Convenient and Long-Lasting: A single implant provides symptom management for up to one year.
- Non-Surgical Solution: Offers a non-invasive alternative to surgery, minimizing stress and recovery time for ferrets.
- Symptom Relief: Rapidly reduces common symptoms of ACD such as hair loss and aggressive behavior.
- Improves Quality of Life: Helps ferrets live more comfortably by controlling hormone-driven symptoms.
Ingredients
Suprelorin F Implant contains 4.7 mg of deslorelin acetate, a GnRH agonist that effectively suppresses the reproductive endocrine system. This action prevents the production of pituitary and gonadal hormones that contribute to the symptoms of ACD.
How Suprelorin F Implant Works
The Suprelorin F Implant releases deslorelin acetate gradually over the course of a year. This hormone suppresses the production of LH and FSH, key drivers of adrenal disease in ferrets. While it doesn't shrink adrenal tumors, it effectively reduces the clinical signs of ACD, allowing ferrets to experience relief from the condition's debilitating symptoms.
Dosage and Administration
Frequency
Administer once per year as directed by your veterinarian to maintain symptom control.
Consistency
For best results, ensure the implant is placed subcutaneously by a professional. Regular follow-ups may be necessary to monitor the ferret's response to the treatment.
Suprelorin F Side Effects
Some ferrets may experience mild, temporary side effects such as localized swelling at the implant site or changes in behavior. These effects typically resolve on their own.
Precautions
Monitor your ferret closely after implantation for any unusual symptoms. Consult your veterinarian if any concerning changes occur.
Warnings
The Suprelorin F Implant should not be used in ferrets with known hypersensitivity to deslorelin acetate. It is also not recommended for use in pregnant or lactating ferrets.
Contraindications
The implant is not curative and should not be used as the sole treatment for severe cases of adrenal disease where immediate intervention is necessary.
Storage
Store the Suprelorin F Implant in the refrigerator at temperatures between 2°C and 8°C. Keep the product in its original packaging until it is ready to be used.
