60mg Vetoryl Tablets for Dogs - Pack of 30
960111
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.

Description
Understanding Cushing’s Disease in Dogs
Cushing’s disease occurs when a dog’s body produces too much cortisol. This condition is most often caused by a benign tumour on the pituitary gland (pituitary-dependent hyperadrenocorticism) or, less commonly, by a tumour on one of the adrenal glands (adrenal-dependent hyperadrenocorticism). Both result in overstimulation of the adrenal glands and excessive cortisol production. Cortisol is necessary, but too much of it leads to a variety of symptoms.
Common signs of Cushing’s disease include:
- Increased thirst and urination
- Increased appetite
- Panting
- Hair loss or thinning coat
- Muscle wasting
- Pot-bellied appearance
- Lethargy
These symptoms tend to develop gradually and may be mistaken for signs of ageing, which is why proper diagnosis by a vet is important. Blood tests such as the ACTH stimulation test or low-dose dexamethasone suppression test are typically used to confirm the condition.
Vetoryl 60mg Tablets must be used under veterinary supervision. The correct dose will depend on your dog’s body weight and clinical response. Your vet may start with a once-daily dose and adjust as necessary, using split tablets to fine-tune the amount given. The scored tablets make it easier to dose accurately, especially for dogs requiring a dosage between 30mg and 60mg. Tablets must be given with food and swallowed whole or as split halves; they should not be crushed or ground up. Monitoring is essential during treatment. Your vet will carry out follow-up blood tests (usually after 10–14 days, and at intervals thereafter) to assess cortisol levels and ensure your dog is responding well. Dosage adjustments may be made based on these results and any observed changes in symptoms.
