All cat owners are faced with this phenomenon when a cute fluffy ball turns into a screaming creature that puts odorous marks everywhere. It is the reproductive instinct that awakens in the pet. One of the most common questions that cat owners ask the veterinarian is “what can I do to stop her from asking for a cat?” The most reliable method is sterilization, but not all owners decide to do it because of the complexity and high cost of the operation. There are many more different drugs, for example, “Sex Barrier”, “Stop-Intim” and others. But they all have a temporary effect and soon cease to affect the animal. In this case, the solution for many owners is “Covinan” for cats. This injection protects pets for a long time from problems associated with “sexual heat.” Among “cat lovers” it was called the “magic injection”.
What is Covinan?
This is a veterinary hormonal drug in the form of a suspension intended for injection. Its action is based on the main component - a synthetic analogue of the female hormone progesterone. This is prolygestone, which is contained in 1 ml of the drug 100 mg. The basis of the suspension is distilled water. In addition to the hormone, it contains dissolved substances that improve its penetration and absorption: dihydrogen phosphate, sodium citrite, sorbitan and others. Doctors do not recommend giving an animal an injection unless necessary. After all, this drug, like other hormonal drugs, is quite dangerous and can cause negative consequences.
Use of antiviral drugs
In Russia, a doctor’s prescription is not required to purchase medications of this group, although visiting a veterinarian will not hurt, especially for people who have adopted a pet for the first time.
Experienced breeders already know that Kamedon is effective both during the prevention of acute viral diseases and during the recovery period. Anandin copes flawlessly with manifestations of immunodeficiency, watery eyes or ear inflammation, for example. Fosprenil is used to treat viral hepatitis and a number of other pathologies in cats. The versatility of ribaflox is explained by its combined composition. It includes antibiotic and antiviral medications to treat most common infections.
Sometimes even an experienced breeder, having accurately recognized the symptoms of his pet, is unsure of the choice of the optimal medicine or its dosage. Indications, contraindications and detailed instructions for the use of each drug can be found on our website.
What is Covinan used for?
This medication is most often used to prevent a cat from going into heat. Hormonal drugs are used if the owners plan to someday get offspring from her. They protect the animal from unwanted pregnancy. Many people have heard about this effect of the drug and use it on their own, not knowing about the specifics of the action. After all, veterinarians use Covinan in the following cases:
- to prevent manifestations of sexual instinct in cats;
- to prevent the development of false pregnancy and pseudo-lactation;
- in the complex treatment of false pregnancy;
- in the case where bearing offspring is dangerous to the health and life of the animal.
As a contraceptive, “Covinan” for cats is advisable to use to provide rest for purebred producers in nurseries. Animals that are prohibited from undergoing surgical sterilization for medical reasons cannot do without such a remedy.

The shelf life of the drug, subject to storage conditions, is 3 years from the date of manufacture.
II. Pharmacological properties
8. Proligestone is a steroid hormone that inhibits the secretion of gonadotropic hormones (especially luteinizing hormones), inhibits the maturation of follicles in the ovaries, blocks the release of estradiol from mature follicles and causes their regression, which prevents the development of estrus. Prolygestone causes changes in the uterine mucosa and increases the viscosity of mucus in the uterus, which prevents the implantation of a fertilized egg, inhibits cell hyperplasia and secretion of the mammary gland of animals. When administered during the anestrus phase, prolygestone maintains a low concentration of LH in the body, which prevents the growth of follicles and provides contraception for the animal. When the drug is discontinued, the concentration of prolygestone in the body decreases, restoring the normal level of LH in the animal’s blood, and the contraceptive effect of the drug ceases. Proligestone has very weak estrogenic, insignificant corticosteroid activity and does not have an androgenic effect.
9. The prolonged effect of the drug is associated with the deposition of prolygestone in fatty tissue and circulation in the liver. Prolygestone enters the intestine with bile, and most of it is removed with feces. A small amount of the hormone is excreted in the urine. The maximum concentration of prolygestone in plasma when administered subcutaneously reaches after 2-3.5 days and is 29 ng/ml. In terms of the degree of impact on the body, Covinan belongs to the group of low-hazard compounds (hazard class 4 according to GOST 12.1.007-76).
III. Application procedure
10. Covinan is used to suppress sexual estrus in bitches and cats, for the prevention and treatment of false pregnancy and pseudolactation in bitches.
11. Covinan is administered strictly subcutaneously, into the middle part of the skin fold, avoiding intradermal injections, as well as injections into subcutaneous fat deposits and scar tissue. Before administration, the drug is thoroughly shaken, the injection site is thoroughly disinfected with a 70% alcohol solution.
12. For the prevention and treatment of false pregnancy and pseudolactation in bitches, the drug is administered once in a dose of 1-3 ml depending on the breed and weight of the animal: up to 20 kg - 1 ml, 21-40 kg - 2 ml, over 40 kg - 3 ml ).
13. To suppress sexual heat in cats, Covinan is used in a dose of 1 ml per animal (for large cats weighing more than 7 kg, the dosage can be increased to 1.5 ml).
For females, the dose is selected individually (from 10 to 33 mg/kg), depending on the weight of the animal:
| Body weight (kg) | Dose (ml) | Dose (mg/kg according to D.V.) |
| < 5 | 1,0 – 1,5 | 33 |
| 5 – 10 | 1,5 – 2,5 | 30 – 25 |
| 10 – 20 | 2,5 – 3,5 | 25 – 17,5 |
| 20 – 30 | 3,5 – 4,5 | 17,5 – 15 |
| 30 – 45 | 4,5 – 5,5 | 15 – 12 |
| 45 – 60 | 5,5 – 6,0 | < 13 |
13.1. To develop persistent anestrus in bitches and cats, Covinan is used in the indicated doses according to the basic scheme:
- first injection during anestrus (for bitches and cats) or proestrus (for bitches);
- second injection 3 months after the first injection;
- third injection 4 months after the second injection.
- then the drug is administered every 5 months.
If bitches who are treated with Covinan according to the specified regimen show signs of proestrus (pre-estrus), to prevent unwanted estrus, it is necessary to give an extraordinary injection of the drug in the appropriate dose.
The further regimen of use depends on the interval at which the injections were made before the appearance of undesirable signs of proestrus:
- if the interval between regular injections was 5 months, then, after an extraordinary administration, Covinan is administered after 4 months, and then every 5 months:
- if the interval was 4 months, then after an extraordinary injection, Covinan is subsequently administered according to the main regimen (after 3 months, then after 4 months, then the drug is administered every 5 months).
13.2. For one-time prevention of sexual heat in females and cats, Covinan is administered once to females during anestrus, preferably no later than a month before the expected estrus; for cats - Covinan is administered during the period of di- or anestrus.
13.3. To suppress estrus in bitches, Covinan is administered immediately after the appearance of signs of proestrus (bloody discharge and enlargement of the loop). Signs of proestrus gradually disappear within 5-7 days.
14. Restoration of the reproductive cycle in females occurs on average after 6-7 months; in rare cases, estrus is restored in the interval from 3 to 12 months.
15. When using the drug in rare cases (0.1-0.6% of cases), side effects such as pyometritis, endometrial hyperplasia, slight increase in body weight, increased appetite, apathy, and slight hypertrophy of the mammary glands are possible. The likelihood of side effects increases if other progesterone analogues were simultaneously administered to animals. Immediately after administration of the drug, a minor local painful reaction is possible. At the injection site, lightening of the coat and slight hair loss are possible. Like other progestogens, the drug can cause adrenal suppression.
16. Covinan is not used in pregnant and lactating animals; during estrus; animals with diseases of the genitourinary system; animals with prolonged vaginal discharge; bitches who received estrogens and progestogens for the treatment of false pregnancy, and it is also undesirable to administer to bitches before the first estrus and in the later stages of proestrus. For animals suffering from diabetes, the drug is used with careful monitoring of blood glucose levels.
IV. Personal prevention measures
17. When working with Covinan, you should follow the general rules of personal hygiene and safety precautions provided for when working with medicinal products for animals.
18. Upon completion of work, hands should be washed with warm water and soap.
19. Covinan should be stored out of the reach of children.

Composition and features of the drug
The main active ingredient of Covinan is prolygestone. This synthetic hormone prevents the occurrence of estrus. It acts in several directions: it reduces the concentration of luteinizing hormone, increases the viscosity of mucus in the uterus and inhibits the activity of the mammary glands. All this provides contraception to the animal. In addition, prolygestone also has the following effect:
- inhibits the development of the follicle, which prevents the occurrence of estrus;
- blocks the production of estradiol and other sex hormones;
- in addition to affecting the pituitary gland and estrogen receptors, it can change metabolism in tissues.
pharmachologic effect
The regulation of sexual heat in cats is due to the suppressive effect of prolygestone on the synthesis of gonadotropic hormones, resulting in inhibition of follicle maturation and cessation of estrus. Prevention and treatment of false pregnancy, contraceptive effect.
Under the influence of the drug, hormonal changes occur in the mucous membrane and secretions of the uterus, as a result of which the egg is unable to attach to the reproductive organ. Prevention and treatment of pseudolactation. After the administration of Covinan, lactation stops and the mammary gland shrinks. Regulation of aggressive behavior in males. The drug reduces the production of testosterone, so Covinan is used to reduce increased sexual desire and aggression in cats.
Treatment of dermatitis and tumors is based on the influence of the synthetic hormone on the production of pituitary hormones and cellular metabolism. The long-term contraceptive effect of the drug is due to persistent inhibition of the production of luteinizing hormone, which resumes after discontinuation of the course of the drug. The long-term effect of the drug is based on the accumulation of the active principle in fatty tissue and its circulation in the liver. Most of Covinan is excreted from the body in the feces of the cat; a small proportion of the drug can be excreted in the urine.
"Covinan" for cats: instructions for use
The drug is administered strictly subcutaneously. Injections into deep layers of skin or muscle tissue should be avoided. Therefore, it is better if a specialist gives the Covinan injection for cats. In addition, it is important to strictly follow the dosage depending on the purpose of using the drug. To prevent sexual heat, it is used in the following dosage: 1 ml of suspension is administered to an animal weighing up to 7 kilograms, 1.5 ml is administered to larger animals. In the treatment of pseudopregnancy, 1 ml of the drug is used, regardless of the cat’s weight. After administration of the drug, the cat’s sexual cycle is restored in about six months. In order to avoid one heat cycle, the drug is administered once a month before its expected start.
Reviews from veterinarians
Galina, veterinarian with 15 years of experience:
“I consider Covinan the safest remedy for suppressing estrus in dogs. I have been using it in my practice for more than 5 years. During this time, there have never been any side effects, although the manufacturer warns in the instructions about their possible occurrence.”
Antonina, veterinarian with 11 years of experience:
“Covinan is one of the best medicines to prevent sexual estrus. After the course, the dog is calm and does not emit an unpleasant odor, but the drug can only be used on healthy animals. I do not recommend that dog owners use the medication themselves. Before injections, you need to conduct an examination to make sure that the dog is healthy and does not have inflammation of the genitourinary system.”
Spread the love
The drug Covenan, used in veterinary medicine, belongs to the category of hormonal drugs. It is based on prolygestone - a synthetic analogue of the natural sex hormone progesterone.
It is used in cases where sexual desire should be suppressed in female cats and dogs. We will describe the features of using Covenant below in more detail.
Areas of use of Covinan
This hormonal drug has the following indications:
- suppression of sexual desire in cats and female dogs;
- treatment and prevention of false pregnancy;
- treatment of pseudolactation in dogs.
Long-term contraception with Covinan
Sometimes injections are used to obtain a lasting effect. In this case, the drug provides a very low concentration of luteinizing hormone in the animal’s body and, accordingly, sexual rest. Proligestone can accumulate in fat cells and have a long-lasting effect. To do this, you need to regularly inject Covinan for cats. The instructions recommend running them according to the following scheme:
- The first injection should be given after the end of the animal's heat or a month before its expected start.
- The injection must be repeated after three months.
- The next Covinan injection is in 4 months.
- All further treatment consists of regular injections every 5 months.
It happens that while using the drug, the cat still shows signs of estrus. In this case, you need to immediately give an emergency injection. After this, further injections continue according to the scheme, but the first one must be done a month earlier.
Castril
(Suspension for injection)
Description
A white suspension with a yellowish tint that separates during storage.
Compound
1 ml of the drug contains the active ingredient:
- medroxyprogesterone acetate – 50 mg
Excipients: methyl parahydroxybenzoate, propyl parahydroxybenzoate, sodium chloride, polysorbate 80, polyethylene oxide 1500, water for injection.
Pharmacological properties
Medroxyprogesterone acetate is a synthetic gestagen that has a longer action than natural progesterone. Medroxyprogesterone acetate affects the hypothalamic-pituitary system, blocking the secretion of gonadotropic hormones (FSH and LH) from the adenohypophysis. A decrease in the level of gonadotropic hormones in the blood leads to disruption of folliculogenesis in females, as a result of which ovulation of follicles is inhibited and fertilization does not occur.
Application
For long-term prevention or interruption of estrus in cats and bitches and prevention of unwanted pregnancy; treatment of false pregnancy and pseudolactation in bitches; treatment of nymphomania in cats.
Dosage
The drug is administered once subcutaneously in the withers area or intramuscularly in the thigh area in doses:
- for the treatment of false pregnancy and pseudolactation: for bitches weighing up to 10 kg - 0.5 ml of the drug, from 10 to 20 kg - 1 ml, over 40 kg - 3 ml.
- to prevent the appearance of estrus - 5-10 days before its appearance, to interrupt it - within 1-2 days after the first signs appear (change in behavior, the beginning of mucous discharge mixed with blood, attractiveness to people of the opposite sex):
bitches weighing 2-5 kg 1-1.5 ml of the drug 5-10 kg - 1.5-2 ml 10-20 kg - 2-3 ml 20-30 kg - 3-4 ml 30-40 kg - 4- 5 ml more than 40 kg - 5-6 ml cats weighing up to 3 kg - 0.5 ml of the drug, more than 3 kg - 1-2 ml.

Who should not be given the injection?
Despite the “magical” properties of the drug, not all owners can use it. It is advisable that the Covinan injection be administered at the veterinary clinic. Cats are examined before injection because the drug has many contraindications. It cannot be used:
- during estrus;
- pregnant and lactating animals;
- those who have diseases of the genitourinary system;
- young cats before their first heat;
- those who experience vaginal discharge;
- animals that were treated with hormonal drugs containing progestogens and estrogens.
Cats with diabetes should be treated with caution. In this case, it is necessary to constantly monitor glucose levels.
Advantages and disadvantages of the drug Covinan
If the advantages and disadvantages of this remedy were fought in the ring, the score would be 1:4 not in favor of the advantages.
Thus, among the obvious advantages, we note the complete restoration of the animal’s normal hormonal levels after the planned withdrawal of Covinan.
What about the disadvantages?
- For cat owners, packaging in 20 ml is not convenient, since our purrs need literally a twentieth of the bottle;
- it is difficult to independently determine the correct time of administration of Covinan;
- It is also important to remember about contraindications and side effects. We will talk about them in the next two chapters.
: When should you sterilize your cat?
Contraindications
When not to use Covinan:
- during pregnancy;
- during feeding period;
- for diseases of the genitourinary system;
- in the first heat;
- in the final stages of the precursor;
- with diabetes mellitus.
Side effects of the drug
And yet, no matter what they say about the safety of hormonal drugs, owners must understand what risks they are taking.
So, not necessary, but possible:
- pyometritis;
- endometrial hyperplasia;
- obesity;
- breast hypertrophy;
- adrenal suppression.
Side effects of the drug
For those cat owners who want to find a “magic” remedy to prevent heat, it is important to know that such drugs may not be completely safe. In addition to the fact that you need to follow special rules when performing injections, you should carry out treatment only after consultation with a specialist. He will warn you how Covinan can be dangerous for cats. Side effects do not occur so often, but they are quite unpleasant for both the animal and its owner:
- Many cats have an increased appetite and begin to gain weight;
- some owners note lethargy and lethargy of the animal after treatment;
- the mammary glands may enlarge and even develop a tumor;
- sometimes purulent inflammation of the uterus occurs;
- the activity of the endocrine system may be disrupted;
- local reactions include hair loss or lightening at the injection site.
Features of an estrus injection for cats
When a pet is ready to reproduce, the process of estrus begins in her body, scientifically called estrus. Animals often begin to roll on the floor, meow pitifully or scream heart-rendingly. This period occurs approximately twice a year in mature cats. Even if you plan to breed kittens, giving birth too often is unhealthy for your cat, which means you need to somehow help her survive this period.
A popular method is injection; it is fraught with several difficulties. Contrary to popular belief, this is not a one-time panacea for the unpleasant symptoms of estrus. The doctor must give injections at a certain frequency; for this purpose, a specific drug administration regimen is even developed. In addition, there are certain contraindications to the administration of hormonal drugs. Therefore, under no circumstances should you give the first injection yourself.
After a thorough examination, the veterinarian injects the cat with a special drug that changes the level of hormones in the animal’s body. The most commonly used are Covinan or Depo-Provera. Both substances contain a synthetic hormone that temporarily increases progesterone levels. The administration of the drug interferes with the ovulation process, as the hormonal background changes slightly. As a result, the pet does not suffer from the desire for intimacy with the cat, and the owners are no longer forced to listen to the animal’s endless cries.
As we have already said, the drug is administered according to a certain scheme. A prerequisite is that the injection is done during the rest period; in no case should the procedure be done if the cats are in heat. The second injection is given three months after the first injection, the third after four months, and each subsequent injection at intervals of five months. This periodicity is based on deep scientific research, so it should not be neglected.
How the cat feels after the injection
To ensure that the injection does not affect your pet’s well-being, contact a competent veterinarian. He will examine the animal and select the correct drug and dosage. Then the risk of complications after the injection will be minimized. And yet, it is there, which means the animal is in danger. Therefore, think carefully before you decide to use such methods of contraception.
If a hormonal injection is the only way to help your pet not suffer from estrus, and the veterinarian does not see any contraindications, it is worth trying this method. After the injection, carefully monitor the health of your furry pet, and at the first suspicious symptoms, run to the veterinarian.
Contraindications and complications
Hormonal drugs are always a risk group, regardless of whether they are used for humans or animals.
The use of Covinan can be successful for some cats, but for others it can lead to the following diseases:
- purulent inflammation of the uterus;
- mammary cancer;
- diabetes.
If your cat's doctor has discovered problems with the genitourinary or endocrine system, hormonal injections are contraindicated. Do not use the drug if the cat is carrying cubs or feeding them milk. Wait until the kittens are mature and the cat goes through her lactation period.
Features of application
Unfortunately, some unscrupulous doctors sometimes inject animals, despite contraindications. They succumb to the persuasion of the owner, who is tired of the cat’s screams and asks them to do at least something. As a result, side effects appear. After all, the use of hormonal drugs is still unsafe.
Therefore, doctors recommend that owners who decide to use Covinan for cats do it correctly:
- the drug is administered strictly subcutaneously; it should not be allowed to get into soft tissues;
- the injection should be given only in the absence of estrus;
- Before injection, the bottle with the suspension should be shaken well, and the injection site should be thoroughly wiped with alcohol;
- the person giving the injection must take precautions so that the medicine does not get into the mouth or mucous membranes.
Storage conditions
The drug manufacturer packs glass vials of suspension in cardboard boxes. The drug Covinan is stored in original packaging in a dry place, out of reach of children, at a temperature of 2 to 25 C away from food and direct sunlight. If stored properly, Covinan can be used for 3 years from the date of manufacture.

Does a cat's behavior change after Covinan?
This question interests all owners who come to the veterinary hospital with a similar problem. Doctors are not always able to give a thorough answer and explain everything in detail. Therefore, it is advisable to find out in advance what effect the drug “Covinan” has. After using it, cats become more docile and calm. They are no longer bothered by heat, so the residents of the house do not suffer from the concert of the neighbor's cats. The animal becomes obedient and does not run away.
Reviews of Covinan for cats
Yana: “After reading about the dangers of pills that are given to cats during heat, I was really very scared. But our veterinarian convinced me that Covinan is quite safe. It is, they say, guaranteed not to cause tumors of the ovaries and uterus, and up to 5 injections can be done safely. But after the fifth, you need to decide on surgery. We've injected three times already. The first time it lasted for six months, the second time for eight months. The third one was injected recently and it is not yet clear how long the effects will last. By the way, buying a whole bottle is not profitable. In Kyiv, in pharmacies it is possible to buy one dose at a time, which is what we do.”
Vyacheslav: “When a newborn appeared in the house, the songs of a walking cat became simply unbearable. The child is screaming, the cat is screaming - my patience has come to an end and we took the cat to the veterinarian. He injected Covinan into the withers and I must say that this injection caused very unpleasant emotions in the cat - it was painful. The doctor told us when to repeat the injections and we clearly instructed the grandmother, to whom the cat was sent for temporary residence. While our cat is not walking, we think that we will give a couple more injections, but we will not do this again, because the veterinarian warned us that the long-term consequences of such injections are unpredictable.”
Nikita: “Everyone is scared of hormones and I’m no exception. But also, none of the cat lovers I know have personally encountered any abnormal side effects. Therefore, I am quite calm about “Kovinan”. We have a very beautiful cat and a male cat, which gives gorgeous offspring, but in order to regulate the frequency of pregnancies, we periodically tease the Kovinan cat; if we did not do this, frequent pregnancies would exhaust the cat. So far the flight is normal.”

Reviews about the drug
There are animals that have been continuously injected with Covinan for several years. They feel good, and the owners are generally happy. They note that the cat has become calm and docile. But doctors do not recommend lifelong treatment with the drug. As an animal ages, there is a greater chance of complications.
Not everyone likes Covinan for cats. There are also negative reviews about the drug. Some owners note that the treatment is quite expensive, and the scheme for its use is complex. The injection causes severe pain to the animal, so the cat will bite and break free.
There are also negative reviews not about the medicine itself, but about veterinarians. Some doctors give an injection without warning the owners about the possible consequences and without examining the cat. Therefore, the owners of the animal themselves must know when not to give an injection, because they will have to deal with its consequences.
What the owners say about Kowinan
If you believe the reviews about this drug, dog owners note that with regular use every six months the animal will always be calm. But it is also recommended to make sure that your pet is healthy before you give it Covinan for the first time. The effectiveness of use is noted only when the animal does not have any serious diseases.
So, we examined the features of the homeopathic drug Covinan, which is used in veterinary practice to suppress sexual desire in female cats and dogs. Now you will know in what cases the animal will need it.
