The active ingredient of Chorulon, human Chorionic Gonadotrophin (hCG), is a complex glycoprotein with luteinising hormone (LH) activity. In the female, hCG can be used to promote maturation of the follicle, ovulation and the formation of the corpus luteum. In the male, Chorulon stimulates the production of testosterone and thus influences the development and maintenance of primary and secondary male sexual characteristics.
Chorulon can be used in the following fertility problems in domestic animals:
-cases of repeated failure of conception in cows and heifers
-induction of ovulation in mares and bitches
-cases of cystic ovaries in cows and heifers
-anoestrus in mares and bitches
-delayed ovulation, prolonged pro-oestrus in bitches
-deficiency in libido in male dogs

Directions for Use

Reconstitute with the solvent provided, ensuring the freeze-dried plug is fully dissolved. Administer by intramuscular or intravenous injection, observing the usual aseptic precautions.
Chorulon has been used in cases of cryptorchidism in the dog prior to castration (100-500 iu i.m. twice weekly for up to 6 weeks). Treatment may be effective in some cases provided that the inguinal canal is patent, and that therapy commences early. Chorulon has intrinsic LH-like activity. Injection of 1500 iu 12 days after heat in cattle enhances the active life of the corpus luteum by 2 to 3 days, resulting in increased progesterone and suppression of oestradiol production. These changes are consistent with those observed after GnRH use at day 11-13 of the cycle and are believed to be responsible for the increased pregnancy rates seen after such use. The mode of action is however different, since Chorulon does not rely on first stimulating an endogenous LH peak. This use of Chorulon has not been investigated in the field.
