Estradiol + Progesterone Adverse Event Insights

The FDA Center for Veterinary Medicine database currently holds 14 adverse event reports referencing Estradiol + Progesterone, including 8 reports in which the animal died — a 5710.0% case-fatality figure among reported events only, not a population-level mortality rate. Active ingredients on file: Estradiol, Progesterone. Reported administration routes include Other, Unknown, Subcutaneous. 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 Estradiol + Progesterone reports are Cattle (10 reports), Unknown (4 reports), with Cattle accounting for the largest share. Within those species, Unknown (4), Cattle (unknown) (2), Mixed (Cattle) (2) 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 Estradiol + Progesterone are Death (8), Anaphylaxis (3), NT - Abnormal necropsy finding NOS (3), Recumbency (3). Of the 12 reports with a coded outcome, Died is the leading category at 66.7%. 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 Estradiol + Progesterone.
