Vetoryl 120mg Capsules for Dogs
Manage Canine Cushing’s Disease Effectively
Vetoryl 120mg Capsules for Dogs are a leading prescription treatment specifically formulated to manage canine hyperadrenocorticism, commonly known as Cushing’s disease. This condition results from an excess of cortisol production, leading to symptoms such as excessive thirst, frequent urination, weight gain, lethargy, and hair loss in dogs. The active ingredient in Vetoryl, trilostane, works by inhibiting the adrenal enzyme responsible for cortisol synthesis, thereby helping to regulate hormone levels and improve your dog’s quality of life.
This product is commonly prescribed by veterinarians to treat both pituitary-dependent Cushing’s disease and adrenal-dependent hyperadrenocorticism in dogs. Vetoryl 120mg is ideal for medium to large breed dogs that require a higher dosage strength for effective symptom control.
Prescription items are NON-RETURNABLE and NON-REFUNDABLE.
