Diethylstilboestrol - clinical pharmacology and alternatives in small animal practice [review; Australia]
1991
Page, S.W. (Australian Veterinary Assoc. Subcommittee on Therapeutics)
Diethylstilboestrol (DES) is currently only available in Australia for oral use in dogs and cats. While many of the uses revealed in the literature survey may be valid, accurate determination of optimum dosing regimens have not been defined. This is especially unfortunate in view of the toxicity of DES to small animals. Nevertheless, particularly in cases of low-dose intermittent administration, oral DES appears indicated at least until data on alternative safe and effective interventions become available.
