Vetoryl® Trilostane Capsules for Dogs

Overview & Importance

Vetoryl® (Trilostane) is the FDA-approved oral medication for treating hyperadrenocorticism (Cushing's disease) in dogs, whether pituitary- or adrenal-dependent. This condition causes excessive cortisol production, leading to symptoms like increased thirst, urination, panting, hair loss, and a pot-bellied appearance. Vetoryl works by inhibiting key enzymes in the adrenal glands to reduce cortisol levels, effectively managing symptoms, improving quality of life, and preventing complications like diabetes or infections. It's essential for long-term control, as Cushing's is chronic and untreated cases can be life-threatening.
