Tuesday Trivia Answer

Pergolide mesylate, marketed under the brand-name Prascend, is the only labeled treatment available for horses diagnosed with PPID.  Pergolide acts like the neurotransmitter Dopamine, which we've learned is deficient in horses suffering from PPID.  While this is not a cure, treating your horse with Prascend can alleviate the clinical signs associated with PPID and help your horse live a longer and more comfortable life.
