Addison's disease is a condition, known as hypoadrenocorticism, where the adrenal glands (located above the kidneys) do not produce enough of two steroid hormones, called cortisol and aldosterone. Addison's disease (hypoadrenocorticism) is a condition caused by the under production of certain hormones by the adrenal gland. In dogs it causes lethargy, weakness and vomiting.

VETERINARY PRESCRIPTION REQUIRED
Zycortal is a mineralocorticoid replacement therapy (MRT) for dogs with Addison’s disease. Zycortal can be used alone or in combination with glucocorticoids to meet the disease-modifying goals of therapy. DOCP is a long-acting analog of desoxycorticosterone, an endogenous steroid hormone and precursor to aldosterone. When administered parenterally, it produces the same physiologic effects as endogenous aldosterone.
Zycortal for Dogs is the new licensed treatment for Addisons Disease in Dogs and replaces Florinef Tablets. Zycortal contains a long-acting analog of desoxycorticosterone, so an injection is only required every 3-4 weeks. VETERINARY PRESCRIPTION REQUIRED.
