Pergolide Alert!

You Need It..
Wedgewood Has It.

Is your equine patient at risk? More than 10,000 horses each year depend upon the availability of Permax® (pergolide) for treatment. U.S. pharmaceutical manufacturers have stopped production on pergolide tablets. That doesn't mean your equine patients can't continue on the pergolide treatment regimen you prescribed for them.

For more than 25 years, Wedgewood Pharmacy has supplied compounded preparations to equine veterinarians. A sudden change in the availability of commercially available medications like Permax® (pergolide) doesn't have to mean a change in the treatment of your equine patients. Count on Wedgewood Pharmacy to help you through most backorder situations.

Pergolide for Veterinary Use

Pergolide is a human drug used in the treatment of Parkinson's disease. Pergolide is the drug of choice for the treatment of pituitary pars intermedia hyperplasia or Equine Cushing's Syndrome (ECS) in horses. Pergolide works by binding with drug receptors in the brain that control the production of dopamine. Read the pergolide monograph for more information.
