Description
Pharmacological action of
Stop-Intim pills for cats are hormonal drugs. Megestrol acetate, which is part of the drug, is a synthetic derivative of the hormone progestogen and has the property to inhibit the secretion of luteinizing (LH) and follicle-stimulating (FSH) hormones that are produced by the anterior pituitary gland. When using the drug before the onset of estrus (estrus), the synthesis of estrogen by the ovarian follicles is inhibited, which prevents the development of morphological and psychophysiological changes in females associated with the sexual cycle, with an insufficient amount of LH, the ovulation process becomes impossible. When using the drug for females on 2 or 3 days from the start of estrus, estrus is interrupted. In males, megestrol acetate lowers testosterone levels in the blood and has an indirect effect on the regulation of sexual behavior and related behavioral reactions, reducing aggression, anxiety and increased excitability in the animal. Megestrol acetate is easily adsorbed in the intestine, biotransformed in the liver and excreted in the form of salts with urine within 1-2 days.
