| Precautions | An accurate diagnosis of hyperadrenocorticism is essential. As most cases of hyperadrenocorticism are diagnosed in dogs between the ages of 10 and 15 years, other pathological processes are frequently present. It is particularly important to screen animals for primary hepatic disease and renal insufficiency, as the product is contraindicated in these cases. The presence of diabetes mellitus and hyperadrenocorticism together requires specific monitoring. If a dog has previously been treated with mitotane, its adrenal function will have been reduced. Experience in the field suggests that an interval of at least one month should elapse between cessation of mitotane and the introduction of trilostane. Close monitoring of adrenal function is advised, as dogs may be more susceptible to the effects of trilostane. The product should be used with extreme caution in dogs with pre-existing anaemia, as further reductions in packed cell volume and haemoglobin may occur. Regular monitoring should be undertaken.Trilostane may decrease testosterone synthesis and has antiprogesterone properties. The possibility of interactions with other medicinal products has not been specifically studied. Given that hyperadrenocorticism tends to occur in older dogs, many will be receiving concurrent medication. The risk of hyperkalaemia developing should be considered if trilostane is used in conjunction with potassium sparing diuretics or angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors. The concurrent use of such drugs should be subject to a risk:benefit analysis by the veterinary surgeon, as there have been a few reports of deaths (including sudden death) in dogs when treated concurrently with trilostane and an ACE inhibitor. A sudden reduction in serum cortisol may cause malaise and weakness, or may unmask arthritis or dermatoses. Caution should be used in treating animals which show symptoms of arthritis with therapies such as nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), which may also potentiate or precipitate renal disease or exacerbate existing problems that aged hyperadrenocorticoid dogs may have. Concomitant use of NSAIDs and other anti-inflammatories with trilostane has not been specifically studied. Therapies for osteoarthritis that are less likely than NSAIDs to cause renal injury should be considered in dogs receiving trilostane.Product is harmful if swallowed. Do not swallow. Wash hands after use. Do not handle the capsules if pregnant or if trying to conceive. Trilostane may decrease testosterone synthesis and has anti-progesterone properties. Women who are pregnant or are intending to become pregnant should avoid handling the capsules. People with known hypersensitivity to trilostane or any of the excipients should avoid contact with the product. The content of the capsules may cause skin and eye irritation and sensitisation. Do not divide or open capsules.First Aid If poisoning occurs, contact a Poisons Information Centre. Phone Australia 131 126.

What is Vetoryl?
Vetoryl is a medication used in veterinary medicine to treat Cushing's disease in dogs. Cushing's disease, also known as hyperadrenocorticism, is a condition where the adrenal glands produce an excessive amount of cortisol, a stress hormone. This can lead to a variety of symptoms in dogs, such as increased thirst and urination, hair loss, pot-bellied appearance, and muscle weakness. Vetoryl works by inhibiting the production of cortisol in the adrenal glands, helping to manage the symptoms of Cushing's disease and improve the quality of life for affected animals. It is important for pet owners to work closely with their veterinarian to determine the appropriate dosage and monitoring schedule for their pet when using Vetoryl.
What problems could my pet have with Vetoryl?
While Vetoryl is an effective medication for managing Cushing's disease in dogs, there are some potential side effects and risks associated with its use. Some pets may experience gastrointestinal upset, such as vomiting or diarrhea, when first starting Vetoryl treatment. It is important to monitor your pet closely and report any concerning symptoms to your veterinarian. Additionally, Vetoryl can affect the levels of cortisol in the body, so regular monitoring of your pet's cortisol levels and overall health is essential while on this medication. Some pets may require dosage adjustments over time to ensure optimal management of Cushing's disease. In rare cases, more serious side effects such as lethargy, weakness, or changes in appetite may occur. If you notice any unusual symptoms in your pet while on Vetoryl, it is important to contact your veterinarian immediately. Overall, while Vetoryl can greatly improve the quality of life for pets with Cushing's disease, it is important to be aware of the potential risks and work closely with your veterinarian to ensure the best possible outcome for your furry friend.
Is there anything I need to know about administering Vetoryl?
Administering Vetoryl properly is crucial to ensure its effectiveness and minimize potential risks. Here are some important points to keep in mind when giving Vetoryl to your pet: 1. **Dosage**: Always follow your veterinarian's instructions regarding the dosage of Vetoryl for your pet. Do not adjust the dosage on your own without consulting your vet. 2. **Administration**: Vetoryl is typically given orally with food. Make sure to give the medication exactly as directed by your vet. You can hide the pill in a treat or use a pill pocket to make it easier for your pet to take. 3. **Monitoring**: Regular monitoring of your pet's response to Vetoryl is essential. Your vet may recommend periodic blood tests to check cortisol levels and overall health status. 4. **Consistency**: Try to administer Vetoryl at the same time each day to maintain a consistent level of the medication in your pet's system. 5. **Side Effects**: Be vigilant for any potential side effects, especially during the initial stages of treatment. Contact your vet immediately if you notice any concerning symptoms in your pet. 6. **Storage**: Store Vetoryl as per the instructions provided on the packaging. Keep it out of reach of children and pets. 7. **Missed Dose**: If you forget to give a dose of Vetoryl, contact your vet for guidance. Do not double up on doses unless advised by your veterinarian. 8. **Communication**: Keep an open line of communication with your veterinarian regarding your pet's response to Vetoryl. Inform them of any changes or concerns you may have. By following these guidelines and working closely with your veterinarian, you can help ensure that your pet receives the appropriate care and management for Cushing's disease with Vetoryl.
