20mg Vetoryl Tablets for Dogs - Pack of 30
960081
Vetoryl 20mg Tablets are a prescription-only veterinary medicine used in the treatment of Cushing’s disease (also known as hyperadrenocorticism) in dogs.
Each Vetoryl 20mg Flavoured Tablet contains 20mg of trilostane, an active ingredient that helps regulate excessive hormone production in affected dogs. Vetoryl Tablets are designed to be given once daily with food and can be split in half for accurate dosing in dogs requiring smaller amounts.
Cushing’s disease is a common endocrine disorder in middle-aged and older dogs. It occurs when the adrenal glands produce too much cortisol, a steroid hormone that plays a role in stress response, immune function, and metabolism. While cortisol is essential in small amounts, overproduction leads to a range of symptoms that can reduce a dog’s quality of life. These symptoms often develop slowly, making the condition challenging to detect early.

More Information
Description
Cushing's Disease is often caused by a benign tumour on the pituitary gland, which overstimulates the adrenal glands to produce cortisol. In some cases, it may also be caused by an adrenal tumour or prolonged use of corticosteroid medications. Regardless of the underlying cause, the result is the same: the body is flooded with more cortisol than it needs, leading to significant physiological changes.
Typical symptoms of Cushing’s disease in dogs include excessive thirst and urination, increased appetite, a pot-bellied appearance, thinning of the skin, hair loss, lethargy, and heavy panting. In some cases, dogs may also experience recurrent skin infections or show signs of muscle weakness. If left untreated, the disease can contribute to more serious conditions, including high blood pressure, diabetes, and damage to the kidneys or liver.
Vetoryl 20mg Tablets help manage these symptoms by blocking the production of cortisol. The active ingredient, trilostane, works by inhibiting an enzyme in the adrenal gland called 3β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase. This enzyme is essential in the pathway that produces cortisol. By interfering with this process, trilostane reduces the levels of cortisol released into the bloodstream, helping to restore a more normal hormonal balance. The tablets are designed for oral administration and should be given once daily with food to ensure optimal absorption.
As they are scored, 20mg Vetoryl tablets can be snapped in half if a lower dose is required. This provides additional flexibility in adjusting the dosage, particularly during the initial stages of treatment when dose titration is often necessary. Splitting tablets should always be done under the guidance of a veterinary professional.
Vetoryl does not cure Cushing’s disease, but it helps to bring the condition under control. Most dogs respond positively to the treatment, showing visible improvements in their symptoms within weeks. However, ongoing monitoring is essential. Blood tests, such as ACTH stimulation tests, will be needed at regular intervals to ensure the dose remains appropriate and effective. Dogs receiving Vetoryl must be closely observed during the early stages of treatment, and the dose may be adjusted based on clinical response and test results. Too much trilostane can suppress adrenal function too strongly, leading to signs of lethargy, vomiting, diarrhoea, or a loss of appetite. If these symptoms occur, owners should contact their vet immediately.

60mg Vetoryl Tablets for Dogs - Pack of 30
Vetoryl 60mg Tablets are a veterinary medicine prescribed for the treatment of Cushing’s disease (also known as hyperadrenocorticism) in dogs. This chronic endocrine disorder affects the adrenal glands and leads to an overproduction of cortisol, a hormone involved in regulating metabolism, the immune system, and stress response.
60mg Vetoryl Tablets contain the active ingredient trilostane, which helps control this hormone imbalance. These tablets are designed to make daily dosing more practical and can be snapped in half to allow for accurate administration based on your dog’s weight and clinical needs.
Vetoryl 60mg tablets are prescription-only and should only be used under the supervision of a veterinary surgeon. Each Vetoryl 60mg tablet contains trilostane, a cortisol synthesis inhibitor. Trilostane works by blocking the activity of an enzyme involved in the production of cortisol within the adrenal glands. By reducing the output of cortisol, the medication helps control the effects of the disease and improve your dog’s clinical condition. These tablets are film-coated and scored, which allows them to be split in half easily. This is particularly useful for adjusting the dosage based on your vet’s recommendations. Vetoryl 60mg Tablets should be given with food, once daily, to improve absorption. Treatment with Vetoryl does not cure Cushing’s disease but manages its symptoms. Most dogs on the correct dose show noticeable improvement in energy levels, coat condition, appetite, and overall comfort within a few weeks of starting treatment.
