Vetoryl Capsules for Dogs

Vetoryl Capsules are used for the treatment of Cushing's disease, also known as hyperadrenocorticism (excess production of corticosteroids from the adrenal glands) in dogs.

Symptoms of Cushings disease include weight gain, hair loss, a pot-bellied appearance, increased thirst and urination. Cushing’s Disease is a common condition in older dogs and can also have a number of un-seen implications, such as a tendency to cause blood clots (blood becomes hyper-coaguable), breathlessness (because of calcification of the airways), liver changes and delayed wound healing. Cushings disease can also lead to diabetes melitus.

Vetoryl works by controlling the excess production of Cortisol, a hormone that regulates many body processes, and is released in increase amounts during stress. Vetoryl is not a cure for Cushing's Disease, but can help control the symptoms. Generally improvement will be seen in several weeks.

Each individual dog responds to Vetoryl differently, but the goal of therapy is to decrease the symptoms related to Cushing's disease (increased thirst and appetite, poor hair coat, etc.). In most cases, the Vetoryl therapy needs to be continued for the life of the dog. If Vetoryl is discontinued, signs will reappear.

Vetoryl capsules are given orally with food and should not be opened or split. Vetoryl may be used for treatment of both pituitary-dependent and adrenal-dependent cushings (hyperadrenocorticism) in dogs.
