Abstract

Extract

Madam:— Clenbuterol* is a potent beta-2 sympathomimetic drug and therefore has both bronchodilator and tocolytic properties. (8) It is widely used in cattle and sheep to relax the uterus, by abolition of uterine contractions, at the time of parturition and particularly:

1.

to postpone parturition for a short period, (4)(9)(11)

2.

in embryo transfer recipients, using the surgical flank method, (1)

3.

to aid in the management of dystocias and uterine spasticity, ( 2)(1O)

4.

in caesarean sections and foetotomies, (2)(5)(1O)

5.

to aid in the replacement of uterine prolapses. (2)(3)(6)
