The beneficial effects on cervical ripening may make misoprostol a desirable agent for helping cervical dilatation on non pregnant women also. A few studies are available on the use of misoprostol as cervical priming agent before gynaecological procedures on non pregnant women.
In 1995, Bell et al. demonstrated higher CPSE serum concentrations in dogs suffering from prostatic diseases than in healthy ones. A new commercial laboratory test, using an ELISA-type immunoassay, has been developed allowing the diagnosis of BPH via a blood sample (Odelis ® CPSE, Bio Veto Test, Nice, France
In dogs, treatment time can be reduced (usually by 48 hours) by the concurrent administration of prostaglandin E (misoprostol) intravaginally at 1–3 mcg/kg/day. The adverse effects of prostaglandins at this dosage (panting, trembling, nausea, and diarrhea) are mild and transient.
Misoprostol was successfully used in human subjects at the dose rate of 50 μg orally or 25 μg intravaginally. There are few references on the use of misoprostol in bitches of different breeds. Objectives. To evaluate safety and efficacy of misoprostol through oral/vaginal routes for induction of labour in bitches of different breeds. Aims.
Misoprostol For Dogs and Cats: Uses, Side Effects and Dose Calculator Based on Weight, Dose (mg/kg) and Concentration.
In our study, we used 400 μg single dose of misoprostol by vaginal route 6 h prior to the procedures as a cervical priming agent. Our aim was to see the effectiveness of misoprostol by this approach. Though diagnostic hysteroscopy could be done using 4 mm scope without anesthesia in many cases.
Prior to biopsy, the veterinarian will conduct a physical examination of the prostate gland in addition to other diagnostic tests. There are a few approaches to prostatic biopsy. These include fine needle aspiration, ultrasound-guided needle biopsy, and excisional biopsy.
