Pergolide – No availability

If you have a horse with Cushings and it is taking pergolide here is something you should know – FDA News

This means that they have pulled pergolide from the market and it will not be available for your horse. Personally I like for people to try using the Chasteberry products such as Hormonize or Evitech, but many times the pergolide is the horses last hope for remaining symptom free.

The Horse did an article last month on this – Don’t know how I missed it but I did – and it contains information on how to petition the FDA for special use for horses – heres the story – http://www.thehorse.com/ViewArticle.aspx?ID=9405

    Thank you for posting about the pergolide crisis. Just wanted to pass on to you that the FDA has FINALLY issued an exemption on pergolide for veterinary use.
