Progesterone is a naturally occurring steroid hormone essential for the regulation of the estrous and menstrual cycles in female animals. It plays a vital role in maintaining pregnancy by preparing and sustaining the uterine lining. This injectable formulation contains 250 mg of progesterone in an oily base, allowing for slow, sustained release following intramuscular administration.

Progesterone I.P. injection is used primarily in veterinary reproductive management, including estrus synchronization, treatment of anestrus, and support of early pregnancy in livestock

•  Active Ingredient: Progesterone 250 mg per 3 ml ampule (approximately 83.33 mg/ml)

•  Vehicle: Oily base (usually sesame oil or similar)

•  Quantity sufficient (q.s.) for 3 ml injection volume

•  Appearance: Clear, viscous oily solution, free from visible particulates

•  Assay: 90% – 110% of labelled progesterone content

•  Sterility: Must comply with pharmacopeial sterility standards (I.P./USP/BP)

•  pH: Not typically specified due to oily base, but must be compatible with injection

•  Synchronization of estrus in cattle, sheep, goats, and other livestock

•  Treatment of anestrus (lack of estrus) or irregular estrous cycles

•  Support of early pregnancy maintenance in cases of luteal insufficiency

•  Induction of cyclicity for breeding management

•  Recommended dose: 250 mg progesterone administered intramuscularly as a single dose per animal or as per veterinary protocol for estrus synchronization programs

•  Administration route: Intramuscular injection only

•  Follow veterinary guidance for timing and repeated dosing in synchronization protocols
