Active ingredient on file: Altrenogest Oily Solution. Reported administration routes include Unknown, Oral, Topical, Intravenous. These numbers reflect voluntary submissions from pet owners, veterinarians, and manufacturers and therefore under-represent mild events and over-represent severe ones — a pattern the FDA has documented repeatedly for pharmacovigilance datasets.

The species most frequently named in Altrenogest Oily Solution reports are Unknown (99 reports), Horse (68 reports), Human (48 reports), with Unknown accounting for the largest share. Within those species, Unknown (151), Quarter Horse (24), Horse (unknown) (9) appear most often — though breed popularity and ownership density shape these counts as much as any drug-specific sensitivity. This distribution matters because the same active ingredient can behave very differently across body sizes, ages, and species physiology.

The most commonly reported clinical signs associated with Altrenogest Oily Solution are Containers, Leaking (66), Seal, Abnormal (34), Lack of efficacy - NOS (25), Accidental exposure (20). Of the 134 reports with a coded outcome, Ongoing is the leading category at 61.9%. Because FDA adverse event data describes correlation rather than causation, these figures are best used to frame informed questions with a veterinarian and to compare reporting patterns across related products — not as a standalone safety verdict on Altrenogest Oily Solution.
