Quinetrol is the name of a synthetic oestrogen, but I can't see any definite
evidence that it is used for sheep. With all the pharmaceutical spam around,
it's not esasy to search for that kind of thing.

"Eternal Quinol" seems to be some sort of anti-aging cream, possibly
made from sheep's placentas (they're not saying).

The title of the question would seem to suggest that this is some cure
for haemorrhoids.

Nothing to do with flies, but is an ovine prophylactic a sheeps-gut
condom? Not sure where that gets us though.

But didn't get anywhere. If you unpeel the Trojan horse, you get a

That children's choir is still singing it.

Perhaps it's the Rose of Tralee. Rose, roes, doe deer, roe deer, John
Doe and Richard Roe - there's no end to this. I will arise and go now.
There's nothing useful here.

The ovine prophylactic is a procedure, not a drug.

At least this reference names the Berwicks. Can't find that
Quinetrol, but quinestrol is a anti-ovulant.

It's a procedure that, controversially, often doesn't involve drugs.

Yet another Cormo is headed your way. This one is fly-proof.

The Panel either apologizes for or gloats over the red herring of
"quinetrol".
