Altrenogest is a synthetic progestin used particularly for managing reproductive conditions in female animals, such as horses and pigs.

Essential insights

• Progestin Receptor Binding: Altrenogest binds to progesterone receptors in the reproductive tract and other target tissues.
• Mimicking Progesterone: By binding to these receptors, altrenogest mimics the effects of natural progesterone, a hormone involved in regulating the reproductive cycle and maintaining pregnancy.
• Regulation of Reproductive Cycle: It helps regulate the estrous cycle by preventing ovulation and maintaining the luteal phase, which can be used to manage estrus or synchronize breeding. Altrenogest's action is useful for controlling reproductive timing and managing conditions related to the reproductive cycle in various species.
