Generic: Dinoprost tromethamine
Lutalyse is a synthetic prostaglandin F2α analog used primarily in veterinary medicine. It functions by causing luteolysis, the regression of the corpus luteum in the ovary. This leads to a decrease in progesterone levels, which is essential for various reproductive management practices in animals, particularly cattle and horses.
Used in veterinary medicine for estrus synchronization, treatment of unobserved estrus, and abortion in cattle and horses.
Outcome:
Increased risk of adverse effects
Mechanism:
Synergistic effects
Outcome:
Potential for altered drug metabolism
Mechanism:
Competition for metabolic pathways
Outcome:
Potential for minor drug interactions
Mechanism:
Variable mechanisms
Potential future developments may include sustained-release formulations or combination therapies for improved reproductive management (2025, 70% confidence).
Based on consistent usage and safety data, Lutalyse is expected to maintain its approved status for veterinary use.
