How does Estrumate (Cloprostenol Sodium) work?
Cloprostenol sodium promotes corpus luteum regression, both functionally and morphologically.

Induction of luteolysis usually restores cyclicity and heals the disease in animals with pyometra (prolonged luteal function), mummified fetus, or luteal cysts. Pregnant animals may abort depending on the stage of pregnancy.
