Monitoring trilostane treatment in dogs with hyperadrenocorticism (2022)
Overview
Trilostane is widely used to manage hypercortisolemia in dogs, offering effective control of clinical signs associated with hyperadrenocorticism (Cushing’s disease). However, due to the risk of adrenocortical oversuppression, careful and informed monitoring is essential.
This webinar explores the various monitoring methods currently used in clinical practice—including ACTH stimulation testing, pre-pill cortisol measurement, routine biochemistry, and acute-phase protein evaluation—along with the advantages and limitations of each.
Gain insights into the pharmacology of trilostane, understand the clinical implications of different monitoring strategies, and learn how to achieve optimal treatment outcomes while minimising risk.
