Minimise Human Ingestion Risk of Horse Pergolide Products

If you, or someone you know accidentally ingests a pergolide based product then you/they should seek immediate medical advice and assistance. It is recommended that you bring the related product leaflet with you to show the medical professional.

Common signs seen with pergolide ingestion can include neurological symptoms, such as dizziness, fainting, sleepiness, therefore you should not drive yourself, and should have someone accompany you to the hospital. Do not operate machinery following accidental pergolide ingestion.

Report directly to VMD

We strongly encourage anyone who is aware of a human adverse event due to veterinary medicinal products to report directly to us via our online reporting form.

Provide all relevant information, including the batch number.

In addition to continuously monitoring all reports of suspected adverse events in animals, both adverse reactions and lack of efficacy reports, from authorised veterinary medicinal products, we monitor reports of suspected adverse events to human when administering medicines authorised and used in animals, such as those containing pergolide.

The reporting of adverse events is critical to our ongoing monitoring activities in order to protect animal health, public health, and the environment.
