Product Description
Estradiol is a hormone that may be administered to generate estrus (heat) or related behavior in horses, as well as to cure urine incontinence over time. This hormone is also useful as a mismate therapy in cats and dogs to prevent conception. Estradiol is rarely used for cats and dogs nowadays since safer alternative exist. Estradiol has been licensed for use in humans (but not in animals) by the FDA (Food and Drug Administration). In some cases, the FDA authorizes veterinarians to use and prescribe products containing this medicine in several species or for other ailments; nevertheless, this drug is not for use in food-producing animals. Speak to a veterinarian about why this particular medicine is the best option.
