Vetoryl is a prescription medication indicated for the treatment of hyperadrenocorticism (Cushing s Disease) in dogs. It is effective in managing both pituitary-dependent and adrenal-dependent forms of the disease by controlling the excessive production of cortisol and alleviating associated symptoms, improving the dog's quality of life. Response to the medication varies from dog to dog, and not all symptoms may see an improvement. However, most dogs taking Vetoryl will see symptom relief within a few weeks of starting their treatment regimen. This Cushing's disease medication for pets is prescription only and is sold in 30 ct. quantities.How it Works
Vetoryl works by controlling excess cortisol production, a hormone that is released from the adrenal gland during times of stress.
Vetoryl capsules contain a medication called trilostane. This drug blocks an enzyme that is key to your dog's adrenal gland's production of cortisol. This lowers your dog's cortisol production.
The effects of Vetoryl (trilostane) are usually temporary, so you will need to continue to give this medication to your dog, even if they seem to be completely recovered. Without a regular supply of Vetoryl, your dog's cortisol production will increase, and they may start to have symptoms that indicate Cushing's disease once more.
Special Precautions
- Use with caution with dogs in kidney or liver disease.
- Vetoryl shouldn't be given to dogs that are pregnant.
- Check with your Vet to ensure Vetoryl is safe to take with your dog's other medications.
Contact your closest emergency animal hospital.
Vetoryl (trilostane) is quickly absorbed through the dog's gastrointestinal tract, so in the case of an overdose, it is critical that you call your veterinarian or an emergency service immediately. Your veterinarian will tell you what action to take, depending on how much Vetoryl your dog has been given and how long it's been since the overdose happened. Gather this information and have it ready when you call your veterinarian or emergency service.
