When should you take Ovariovit?
Ovariovit is a Russian veterinary drug belonging to the homeopathic group.
It is commonly used for various hormonal problems in animals. These include: menstrual irregularities, ovarian problems, false pregnancy, urinary incontinence. In addition, Ovariovit also copes well with eliminating the effects of various hormonal therapies. Dermatitis and obesity, which can torment a dog after sterilization, are also indicators for the use of this product.
Most often, this drug is used to normalize sexual function in bitches, and not to solve hormonal problems in general. Often used in combination with mastomethrin.
Interaction with other drugs
Ovariovit is used in combination with the following drugs:
- antibiotics, interferons, anthelmintics, probiotics and other drugs intended for etiotropic therapy;
- hormonal, enzyme and “heart” drugs, vitamins, hepatoprotectors, neuroleptics and other pathogenetic agents;
- medications for symptomatic treatment.
Thus, Ovariovit can be combined with most any veterinary drugs (including homeopathic ones).

Advantages and disadvantages of the drug Ovariovit for cats
The remedy is homeopathic and for some this may be its main drawback. After all, the placebo effect is observed in people, but it is impossible to convince a cat that a dummy drug can work. But this disadvantage only counts if you have doubts about homeopathy.
Those who believe that small doses can solve big problems note the high effectiveness of Ovariovit.
The manufacturer also took care of the convenient packaging of the medicine - 10 and 100 ml.
Contraindications
The only contraindication for use is the cat’s individual intolerance to any of the components of the Ovariovita formula.
Ovariovit is an injection solution related to homeopathic preparations. Used for the prevention and treatment of ovarian dysfunction in cats, increases fertility, reduces the risk of false pregnancies. It is well tolerated by animals, has a minimum of contraindications, and can be combined with other drugs.
Advantages and disadvantages of Ovariovit
The advantages of the drug include the following factors:
- safety of use (no side effects, composition consists of natural ingredients);
- convenient packaging (for home use you can buy a 10 ml bottle);
- suitable not only for the treatment of diseases, but also for their prevention;
- reasonable price (from 200 rubles for a small bottle);
- long shelf life when unopened.
The disadvantages of Ovariovit are:
- unproven effectiveness (some cat owners did not notice improvements in the pet’s condition after use);
- low effectiveness if the medicine is not used in combination with other drugs;
- the only form of release;
- The shelf life after opening the bottle is reduced to 3 weeks.

Features of the use of Ovariovit in cats
Ovariovit can only be used as a subcutaneous or intramuscular injection. The effectiveness of application depends on several factors:
- correct selection of dosage;
- well-designed treatment plan;
- use together with other prescribed drugs, etc.
Some people consider the fact that Ovariovit is available in a single dosage form to be a minus, but the manufacturer has taken into account all the nuances associated with the use of the medicine and provided the bottle with a cap with notches for easy opening
Table: treatment regimens
Indications for use | Number of injections | Duration of treatment |
False pregnancy | 1 time per day | 1–1.5 months |
Absence of estrus, irregular sexual cycles | 1–2 times a week | 1 month (course can be repeated after 6 months) |
Consequences of using hormonal drugs | 2–3 times a week | 1–1.5 months |
Chronic endometritis | 21 day | |
Preparation for mating | 2 weeks | |
Prevention of complications after castration in females | 2 times per week | 1 month (after surgery) |
Prevention of miscarriages | 2 times (5 and 10 days after pregnancy) |
The treatment regimen may depend on the age of the cat, its physical condition, the accuracy of the diagnosis, etc.
Therefore, if you are treating a cat yourself, then consult a veterinarian (he will adjust the regimen).
My friends have a young Thai cat suffering from strabismus (in the first litter, most of the kittens adopted the “bad” trait from their mother). Therefore, it was decided to have an ovariohysterectomy (removal of the uterus and ovaries). The family doesn’t have a lot of money, so they had to go to a “cheaper” clinic. A few months after the surgery, the cat went into heat. The owners decided that this was a complication and bought homeopathic medicines (including Ovariovit), but the medicines did not help - the heats became even more regular. A trusted veterinarian, whom I recommended to them, did an ultrasound and declared - retained ovary syndrome. It turned out that the operating clinic did its job in bad faith, and the owners made a mistake with the diagnosis.
Before using Ovariovit, consult your veterinarian (at least by phone)
Is it possible to give a cat an injection yourself?
You can also give your cat a subcutaneous injection yourself. Here is the sequence of actions:
- Prepare the bottle (bend the edges of the notches on the cap, wipe the opened part of the rubber stopper with alcohol).
- Prepare a syringe (attach the needle to the syringe without removing the cap from it - do not touch the needle).
- Remove the cap from the needle and draw the required amount of solution into the syringe with a reserve.
- Lift the syringe with the needle up and release all the air from it (you can lightly tap the syringe so that the air bubbles can be released).
- When a drop appears at the tip of the needle, the syringe should be put aside (so that the needle does not touch any surfaces).
- Secure the cat so that it is convenient to grab it by the withers (the area of the skin between the back of the head and the shoulder blades).
- Insert a needle into the resulting fold to a depth of 1–1.5 cm (depending on the size of the cat).
- Smoothly inject the solution, pull out the needle and release the withers (no need to rub the injection site).
- To calm the cat down, you can pet it.
A subcutaneous injection can be made not only in the withers, but also in the knee fold, but this injection site is preferable in cases where the skin in the withers area is damaged (for example, there is a wound).
An intramuscular injection can also be done independently, but most cat owners prefer injections into the withers. The fact is that a convenient place for an intramuscular injection is the back surface of the upper thigh. The pet will have to be held by the withers (this makes it easier to immobilize), while the cat will tuck its paws under itself. Therefore, help from household members may be required.
If you are not confident in your abilities, you can contact any veterinary clinic. The facility's staff will administer the injection in appropriate sanitary conditions, quickly and inexpensively. I had to carry my cat for injections (1 injection costs approximately 100–150 rubles, but it depends on the clinic).
Ovariovit can be injected subcutaneously (into the withers or knee fold) or intramuscularly (into the back of the upper thigh)
Precautionary measures
- after handling the medicine, you should wash your hands with soap;
- in case of accidental contact of the medicine with the skin or mucous membranes of the eyes, they must be rinsed with plenty of water;
- people with hypersensitivity to the components of Ovariovit should avoid direct contact with the drug;
- In the event of an allergy or accidental exposure of the drug to the human body, you should immediately contact a medical facility (bring with you the instructions for use of the drug or the label).
Analogues of Ovariovit
In general, Ovariovit has no analogues, but the most similar in composition and indications is the homeopathic drug Ovarium compositum.
Table: characteristics of Ovarium compositum

What is pseudopregnancy
False pregnancy in dogs is a condition in which the animal’s reproductive system malfunctions. Physiological and mental changes occur in the body, during which she feels like during pregnancy. False pregnancy in dogs occurs as a result of hormonal changes as a result of estrus due to increased lactogen production. At this time, a hormonal disruption occurs in the pituitary gland, due to which the active production of prolactin begins.
History claims that false pregnancy occurs for a natural reason. When dogs live in a pack, they have only one main female, who gives birth to puppies. The rest should support her in crisis situations. When she goes hunting and does not return for a long time, other females look after the puppies.
There are many myths circulating among people regarding this occasion, here are the most common among them:
- Myth 1: “Neutered dogs cannot have false pregnancies.” This process is interconnected with the pituitary gland, which is related to the head, and not to the ovaries. Sterilization will not save your pet from this phenomenon; it will help avoid swelling and inflammation.
- Myth 2: “A female who has mated cannot have such a problem.” However, this is not the case; the only preventive measure is regular mating of the animal.
- Myth 3: “The pet needs to be properly scolded and her adopted toys and slippers should be taken away.” Scolding her is useless, even cruel, because the animal is under the control of hormones. The destruction of her nest can cause even greater nervousness. You should not scold her, but play with her, run more, try to distract the animal.
- Myth 4: “If a dog’s nipples are tied, the milk will stop flowing and the condition will return to normal.” This cannot be done, because such actions can lead to the formation of stagnation. When she licks her nipples to stimulate milk, it is better to wear protective clothing or lubricate her with camphor. However, an allergic reaction may occur when using camphor.
The drug, in terms of the degree of its effect on the animal body, belongs to low-hazard substances that do not have a sensitizing or locally irritating effect, and its constituent components practically do not accumulate in the animal body.
False pregnancy is a condition in which all the symptoms of true pregnancy are observed. It is observed mainly after sterile mating (that is, during sexual contact with a sterile cable).
Signs of pseudopregnancy clearly appear, letting the animal know that offspring will soon be born. It is usually observed after the end of estrus - at 4-8 weeks. The dog's body begins to produce the same amount of hormones as during a real pregnancy.
In more detail, a malfunction in the dog’s endocrine system is observed during the period of metoestrum, that is, after estrus (30-60 days). At this time, the corpus luteum is formed, producing progesterone. The hormone blocks the onset of ovulation and rebuilds the uterine walls so that the embryo is implanted in them.
Hence the explanation why all the symptoms of pregnancy, including the appearance of colostrum, are present, but there are no puppies in the dog’s womb.
The period of metoestrum lasts 1-2 months. After this period, the dog’s body begins to produce prolactin. Its main task is to prepare puppies for feeding milk.
Indications for use
According to the instructions, Ovariovit for dogs is used for various pathologies of the reproductive system, reproductive disorders and hormonal imbalances in the body. It is prescribed in the presence of such problems and pathologies in bitches:
- with false gestation;
- in case of cycle disruption;
- with endometritis;
- with ovarian cysts;
- with pyometritis;
- with excessive excitement;
- if unpleasant consequences of hormonal therapy occur;
- to prevent embryo mortality.
The drug is also used for infertility, if the cause lies in the disruption of the ovaries. Normalizing hormonal levels and eliminating existing disruptions allows you to restore reproductive function.
Application after sterilization
The technique of dog ovariohysterectomy involves surgery during which the uterus and ovaries are removed. Sterilization can be carried out if the owners do not want to have offspring or for clinical reasons, for example, the presence of a tumor. The operation has many advantages, including an increase in life expectancy due to the absence of the risk of developing deadly diseases of the genital organs.
After surgery, side effects may occur - obesity and dermatosis. They are caused by hormonal changes. Ovariovit, used for dogs after sterilization, helps prevent their manifestation.

Description, composition and release form
The homeopathic remedy “Ovariovit” is intended for and is intended for disorders in the functioning of the reproductive system of females. It regulates the functioning of such areas of the brain as the hypothalamus and pituitary gland, thereby normalizing the functionality of the ovaries, and also reduces the likelihood of embryo death during.
The drug is non-hormonal, therefore it gently regulates ovarian dysfunction and balances the animal’s hormonal levels. The medicine promotes the active development of follicles and eggs in them, and also activates the work of the pituitary and reproductive systems.
Important! Most often, the remedy can be indicated to an animal if its hormonal levels have previously been disrupted by the use of various hormonal, in particular those containing progesterone, drugs.
Natural components of natural origin are what is contained in Ovariovit. The composition of the drug includes:
- essential oil of Turnera procumbens (also known as Damiana);
- medicinal plant kirkazon vulgaris (clematis);
- perennial herbaceous plant blackening lumbago (meadow);
- sepia from cuttlefish ink sac;
- iodide gold;
- calcium carbonate.
pharmachologic effect
Ovariovit consists of extracts of medicinal plants containing phytohormones. The composition of the product includes spreading thorn, common columbine, meadow lumbago, and clematis. The drug corrects hormonal imbalances that cause the following abnormalities in cats: ovarian dysfunction; disruption of the reproductive cycle; ovarian cysts; inflammation of the uterus after complicated delivery; history of stillbirth; infertility; aggressive behavior that coincides with reproductive cycles; false pregnancy. Ovariovit is prescribed to cats that have developed obesity or lack of urinary control after sterilization. Ovariovit is prescribed to prevent hormone imbalance before mating. The use of the drug on the first day of estrus leads to superovulation - the release of an increased number of eggs from the ovary, which will increase the cat's fertility. A homeopathic remedy is prescribed by a veterinarian. The doctor also describes the regimen for using the medicine. You cannot use Ovariovit on your own to treat a pet, as this can harm the cat’s health.
The drug is not prescribed to males, as it can cause hormonal imbalance!
Indications for the drug
The medicine is used to treat hormonal imbalances and various problems with the genitourinary system. Among them:
- false pregnancy;
- absence of heat;
- reproductive cycle disorders;
- overly or insufficiently active ovarian function;
- follicular formations;
- chronic endometritis;
- risk of miscarriage, stillbirth or fetal mortality.
In addition, Ovariovit is used as a supporting agent in the postoperative period during sterilization and other operations on the genital organs. It is also used to normalize estrogen and other hormone levels after a course of birth control, steroids, heat suppressants, and other hormonal medications.
In addition, the drug increases the likelihood of fertilization, which is why it is sometimes given to cats before mating.
Ovariovit for cats can be administered both intramuscularly and subcutaneously
It is very important to choose the right dose and treatment regimen - it is better to have a veterinarian do this. Homeopathic remedies are often used not independently, but as part of complex therapy, therefore it is worth taking care of the compatibility of medications
Dosage selection
The single amount of the drug per injection depends on the weight of the cat and ranges from 0.5 to 1 ml of the drug per 1 kilogram of the animal’s body weight. Approximate dosage and course duration for common pathologies:
- for false pregnancy - 1 injection per day every day for 30-45 days;
- in case of sexual cycle disorders, delays or absence of estrus - 1 or 2 injections per week for 30 days, repeat course after 9 months;
- for chronic endometritis - 2-3 doses per week for 21 days;
- during the recovery period after taking hormonal drugs - from 2 to 3 injections per week for 1 or 1.5 months;
- to prepare for mating and prevent complications during pregnancy - 2-3 injections every 7 days for 2 weeks;
- to prevent postoperative complications from sterilization - 2 times a week for a month after the procedure;
- as a prevention of miscarriages - 2 injections 5 and 10 days after the start of pregnancy.
In addition to the nature of the disease, the treatment regimen is influenced by factors such as the physical condition of the pet, its age and the presence of concomitant pathologies. It is best that the treatment regimen is selected by a veterinarian, taking into account all factors.
Rules for injections
If the owner of the animal is going to give the injection himself, he needs to study the rules of injection. This will help you avoid accidentally harming the cat. The procedure is as follows:
Bend back the notches on the bottle along the edges. Disinfect the opened part of the cork with alcohol or antiseptic. Place the needle on the syringe and remove the cap without touching it. Take the required amount of solution for injection with a small margin. Raise the syringe with the needle up and, holding it in this position, release all the air. If air bubbles form inside, tap them with your fingers. You can find out that the gas has completely left the container by the droplet of liquid appearing at the tip. Fix the cat in a stationary position so that it is convenient to grab the animal by the withers. Taking it by the area between the back of the head and the shoulder blades, you need to slightly stretch the fold and insert the needle to a depth of 1-1.5 cm (depending on the size of the animal) under the skin. Slowly inject the solution for injections, gently pressing on the syringe
Then carefully remove the needle from under the skin and release the cat. Calm your pet if necessary.
If it is impossible to inject into the withers (for example, the animal has a wound or irritation there), you can inject the solution intramuscularly. To do this, the back surface of the thigh is pierced in its upper area. But it is worth remembering that if a cat is held, it will most likely move its paws, so you will need the help of an assistant to hold it.
When giving an injection, do not forget about personal safety rules. Before starting and after finishing work, be sure to wash your hands with soap. If Ovariovit gets on the skin, eyes or mucous membranes, they should be washed immediately with plenty of water. It is advisable for people allergic to the components of the drug to also use gloves and a protective mask. If you accidentally swallow the drug or experience any unusual symptoms after working with it, you should immediately consult a doctor.
User reviews
Among the opinions of animal owners and veterinarians, you can find both positive and negative reviews about Ovariovit. Some praise the drug for its safety and natural composition, but others note that the product had little effect on the well-being of their pet.
We used Ovariovit during the recovery period from complications after a course of hormones that the vet prescribed for our cat to prevent unwanted pregnancy. They injected him for three whole months along with other medications. The cat began to feel better, but we gave her several more medications, so it’s difficult to say what role Ovaritovit played.
We used this drug when my cat had a false pregnancy. It should be noted that it is quite effective. We gave injections every day, and within a week our pet began to behave much more adequately.
As a veterinarian, I can say that there is little point in using Ovariovit, since its effectiveness is not much higher than that of a placebo. But as an addition to treatment in combination with other remedies, it will not harm.

Instructions for use
Dosage by weight
The volume for a single administration of a medicinal solution is calculated based on the body weight of the animal: 0.1 ml (3 drops) per 1 kg of female weight.
The total volume of a single injection for small breed dogs can range from 0.5 to 2 ml. Large pets are injected with 2 to 4 ml of solution.
The treatment regimen and course duration are calculated individually for each individual, depending on the type of disease and the nature of its course.
Most often, injections are administered according to the following schedule: 1-2 times a day for a course duration of 4 to 14 days or 1-2 times a week for a course duration of 1 to 3 months.
Violation of the treatment regimen and non-compliance with the dosage schedule are undesirable, since the effectiveness of therapy is reduced.
How to inject?
The medicinal solution is administered subcutaneously or intramuscularly. For subcutaneous administration, the withers are selected. Due to the active movement of the muscles of the forelimbs, the medicine is quickly absorbed into the blood. With an intramuscular injection, an injection is given in the upper outer part of the thigh. The procedure is carried out under sterile conditions.
Injections are given after eating, when the animal feels calm. Before administering the solution, the injection site should be massaged well, and the dog should be distracted from the unpleasant procedure.
Pills
An alternative to Ovariovit solution is the tablet form of this drug. Tablets of 0.1 mg are packaged in blisters of 50 pcs.
For small breed dogs and puppies, a dose of 1 tablet is prescribed for a single dose, for medium and large breeds - 1-3 tablets. In this form, the drug is administered orally.
The maximum concentration of the active ingredients of a homeopathic remedy in the blood when administered in the form of injections is achieved faster, but the procedure itself can cause stress in the animal. The tablets are given with food and do not cause pain. They have an advantage over the solution in terms of shelf life.
False pregnancy and other indications
This medication belongs to the group of homeopathic remedies. It is used in veterinary medicine. The product can be used in the treatment of diseases of the urinary system.
To increase the fertility of females and prevent spontaneous pathological abortions in animals, a homeopathic solution is administered during the period of sexual heat.
The medicine has a positive effect on the regulation of ovarian functions with a decrease in their activity in the production of hormones, the development of cystic neoplasms, the manifestation of pathologies such as persistent corpus luteum, and false pregnancy.
This is a hypoallergenic drug that does not have local irritating properties. The homeopathic substances included in the medicine have a low concentration and are quickly eliminated from the animal’s body without accumulating in the blood and organs. This determines the low degree of its toxicity.
No side effects were identified when using Ovariovit.
The drug is not available in tablets. This is a solution in ampoules, which is administered intramuscularly 1 to 3 times a week as prescribed by a veterinarian. The duration of treatment for false pregnancy is 2-3 weeks, for tumor diseases – up to several months.
Ovariovit goes well with all medications, including antitumor ones.
This medicine causes estrus. Drugs with a similar effect include the following:
- Mastomethrin;
- Ovarium;
- Katozal.
To increase the likelihood of fertilization, Ovariovit can be injected before mating, especially when it is necessary to increase the litter. A large number of eggs are produced that are capable of participating in fertilization, i.e. superovulation develops. Normalization of hormonal levels, in particular the hypothalamic-pituitary system, after using this drug contributes to the normal course of pregnancy.
It should be borne in mind that the normal sexual cycle of a dog has the following stages:
- proestrus, during which the follicle develops (10-12 days);
- estrus – the period of maturation of the egg and its ovulation (10-12 days);
- diestrus. Lasts about two months and is necessary for the synthesis of progesterone. This is the main risk period for false pregnancy;
- Anestrus lasting about 4 months is a period of sexual rest, weak ovarian activity.
Symptoms for which treatment should be started:
- sexual cycles have disappeared or the interval between them has become more than 10 months. This is observed with underdevelopment of the ovaries, pituitary gland or thyroid gland;
- there is a hidden heat;
- congenital anesthesia;
- prolonged estrus, i.e. prolongation of all components of the reproductive cycle.
All of the above factors affect fertilization and require medical intervention.
If the disease is acquired, that is, it arose as a result of a malfunction of the endocrine system, it is necessary to find out the root cause and eliminate it. There will be no effect from symptomatic treatment. Competent therapy, selected by a veterinarian after an appropriate examination, is the key to successful treatment.
Ovariovit belongs to the family of homeopathic medicines. This remedy is prescribed for certain pathologies and disorders of the reproductive organs of female animals.
- with decreased ovarian function;
- with follicular cysts;
- with persistent corpus luteum (the case when at the end of the cycle the corpus luteum does not disappear, but continues to produce hormones, leading to amenorrhea, since this condition resembles pregnancy);
- for inflammation of the uterus (must be taken in combination with other medications).
Impact on the body
The drug has a comprehensive effect on the reproductive system of females of various animals, including cats, dogs, large and small cattle and fur-bearing animals. It normalizes the balance of female sex hormones, although it does not contain them. The use of Ovariovit has the following effects on the body of pets:
- stimulation of estrogen production and regulation of their quantity;
- relieving inflammation on the mucous membranes and tissues of the genital organs;
- normalizing the sexual cycle after hormonal imbalances, taking medications to suppress estrus, and so on;
- restoration of ovarian function;
- stimulation of growth and development of the egg follicle;
- regulation of the activity of the pituitary gland and hypothalamus, stimulating their work;
- elimination of mental changes caused by the influence of hormones on the animal;
- increasing the likelihood of fertilization, improving reproductive function.
Ovaritovit does not accumulate in the body, is not addictive and does not have a long-term effect on the body of a cat or other animal. Because of this, it is widely used in veterinary medicine as an adjunct to the treatment of serious diseases of the reproductive system.
Safety and Hygiene
The syringe and needle for using the drug must be disposable and sterile. It is unacceptable to inject with a syringe that has already been used before, even if on the same animal.
It is unacceptable to use a medicine whose packaging is damaged or contains cracks. A drug that has changed color or has become cloudy is unsuitable for use, if it contains foreign impurities or has expired.
In any case, when using the drug, you must adhere to all rules of personal hygiene and rules for working with medications. After you have given the animal an injection, you must wash your hands thoroughly with soap.
If during the procedure the medicine gets on your skin, eyes or mucous membranes, you should rinse these areas with plenty of water.
If you are hypersensitive to any components of the drug, try to avoid getting the drug on your skin. The same applies to people who are allergic to any components in Ovariovit.
Important! If the product comes into direct contact with your skin and you experience an allergic reaction, go to the hospital immediately, and be sure to show the doctor the drug label or instructions for use.
Empty bottles of used product must be destroyed. Their storage and use for any domestic purposes is unacceptable.
Contraindications and side effects
When used correctly and dosages are observed, there are no side effects from the use of Ovariovit. Contraindications include the cat’s individual intolerance to any of the active ingredients or excipients of the drug. In these cases, allergic reactions such as itching, skin irritation, rash, shortness of breath, and watery eyes are possible.

The breathing center in the brain is stimulated, a stimulating effect is exerted on the uterus, the frequency of its contractions increases and the overall tone rises. The circulatory system is also affected by sepia, which regulates vascular tone.
Blackening lumbago normalizes hormonal balance and the sexual cycle, and also promotes milk production during lactation. Gold iodide has a beneficial effect on the reproductive organs when various tumors appear in them (fibroids, fibroids, cysts).
Calcium carbonate regulates calcium metabolism in the female body during pregnancy or lactation and is a preventive measure in the prevention of uterine bleeding during childbirth.
