Pergolide Mesylate Flavored Oral Powder Compounded for Horses

Overview – Active Ingredient vs. Compounded Preparation

Pergolide is the active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) in this prescription and belongs to the dopamine agonist drug class. Veterinarians may prescribe pergolide for horses that need individualized support related to PPID (Pituitary Pars Intermedia Dysfunction). The finished product—Pergolide Mesylate Flavored Oral Powder—is a compounded preparation that contains pergolide as the API. Our pharmacists compound each order specifically for one horse based on a valid veterinary prescription.

Unlike commercially manufactured medications, our team carefully prepares this compounded powder to match the strength, flavor, and quantity required for each equine patient. Therefore, veterinarians and horse owners can rely on a customized formulation that fits each animal’s individual needs.

Why a Compounded Oral Powder?

Every horse is unique, and sometimes a standard dosage form does not meet that horse’s needs. For this reason, our pharmacists prepare Pergolide Mesylate Oral Powder in custom strengths and equine-friendly flavors such as Apple, Peppermint, and Maple. These palatable flavors make administration easier and encourage daily acceptance. Moreover, the powder can be mixed with feed or administered exactly as directed by the prescribing veterinarian.

Additionally, the powder format allows veterinarians to prescribe flexible doses while giving owners a convenient way to ensure consistent daily administration. As a result, the compounded form helps support long-term compliance and accuracy in dosing.
