Alizin is a veterinary medication specifically formulated for dogs, designed for the safe and effective termination of unwanted canine pregnancies. The active ingredient, aglepristone, acts directly on progesterone receptors within the reproductive system. Progesterone is a hormone essential for maintaining pregnancy in dogs. By blocking the effects of progesterone, Alizin effectively prevents pregnancy from continuing.

Alizin is a veterinary medication specifically formulated for dogs, designed for the safe and effective termination of unwanted canine pregnancies. The active ingredient, aglepristone, acts directly on progesterone receptors within the reproductive system. Progesterone is a hormone essential for maintaining pregnancy in dogs. By blocking the effects of progesterone, Alizin effectively prevents pregnancy from continuing.
A VETERINARY PRESCRIPTION IS REQUIRED FOR ALIZIN
The active component in Alizin, aglepristone, is classified as a synthetic progesterone antagonist. Progesterone plays a crucial role in the reproductive cycle of dogs by preparing the uterus for pregnancy and maintaining pregnancy after conception. Once aglepristone is administered, it binds to progesterone receptors and blocks progesterone from interacting effectively with uterine tissues. Without progesterone's influence, the uterus becomes unable to support the developing embryos, which prevents further pregnancy progression.
Aglepristone’s mechanism ensures that the developing embryos cannot implant effectively into the uterine lining, or if implantation has occurred, disrupts it sufficiently to halt development. As a result, Alizin prevents the continuation of gestation. Typically, after treatment, the dog's body naturally reabsorbs or expels any early-stage embryos without significant physical distress.
Alizin is most effective when administered during the early stages of pregnancy. Ideally, treatment with Alizin should occur as soon as possible after an unintended mating—typically between days 0 and 45 after mating. Veterinary advice should always be sought immediately after a suspected unwanted pregnancy to ensure accurate diagnosis and timely administration.
Veterinarians generally recommend administering Alizin twice, with the second injection occurring approximately 24 hours after the first. This two-dose regimen ensures maximum effectiveness, significantly increasing the chances of successful termination of pregnancy. Dogs should always receive this treatment under strict veterinary supervision.
Alizin provides veterinarians and dog owners with a reliable method to terminate unwanted pregnancies safely. Its targeted action significantly reduces the risk of complications compared to older or more invasive methods of pregnancy termination. The medication is specifically developed for canine reproductive physiology, ensuring that the process is efficient and gentle.
Before products like Alizin were available, the primary method of terminating canine pregnancies involved surgical procedures, often presenting risks associated with anaesthesia and invasive operations. Alizin offers a non-surgical alternative, significantly reducing potential stress and health risks to the dog.
Following administration, Alizin acts quickly, with pregnancy termination usually confirmed within days after the second injection. Veterinary professionals frequently use ultrasound or clinical examinations to confirm the success of the treatment. Prompt termination reduces the physical and emotional strain associated with pregnancy complications or unintended litters.
Alizin’s active ingredient, aglepristone, is well-tolerated by dogs. Side effects are generally minimal and temporary. The most common effects may include mild lethargy, transient loss of appetite, or brief vaginal discharge. Serious complications are rare, making Alizin a preferred method among veterinary professionals.
A significant benefit of Alizin treatment is its preservation of the dog's reproductive health. Unlike surgical procedures, which can carry risks to future fertility, Alizin does not typically affect the dog's ability to conceive or carry future litters safely. Owners intending to breed their dogs later in life can therefore rely on Alizin without compromising their pet’s reproductive future.
Alizin is exclusively intended for veterinary use and should only be administered by qualified veterinary practitioners. Owners must not attempt to administer this medication themselves. Veterinary oversight ensures accurate dosing, appropriate timing, and monitoring throughout treatment.
Before administration, veterinarians typically perform a thorough examination, including confirming pregnancy and assessing the overall health of the dog. Accurate dating of pregnancy is crucial, as the effectiveness of Alizin diminishes later in gestation.
While side effects are uncommon, veterinarians will advise owners about possible reactions to watch for after treatment. Monitoring the dog closely during and after treatment is essential to promptly address any concerns or adverse reactions that may arise.
After receiving Alizin, dogs typically require minimal additional care. However, veterinarians may recommend temporarily restricting strenuous activity and providing a calm, comfortable environment during the days following treatment. Follow-up veterinary visits may be required to confirm that pregnancy termination has been successful, usually through clinical examinations or ultrasound scans.
Alizin should not be administered to dogs with known hypersensitivity to aglepristone or any other component of the medication. Additionally, veterinarians may avoid administration in dogs suffering from severe medical conditions, compromised immunity, or advanced stages of pregnancy due to increased risks.
Always provide veterinarians with a complete medical history before commencing Alizin treatment. Any ongoing medications, recent treatments, or known health issues must be thoroughly discussed to ensure safe and appropriate use.
Veterinary consultation remains essential to accurately determine the necessity, timing, dosage, and appropriateness of Alizin treatment for individual cases.
Alizin for Dogs is used to terminate pregnancy in bitches. It is given by injection and can be used up to 45 days after mating.
Alizin is best given during the early stages of pregnancy if possible. Alizin works by acting against progesterone in the body, resulting in loss of the pregnancy.
