More Information About Lysodren Pet Medications
A common disorder in older dogs, cushing's disease, also called hyperadrenocorticism, is
a disease affecting the canine pituitary gland and the cortisol hormone that it produces.
The cortisol hormone can have an effect on several body functions including the immune system, cardiovascular functions,
blood sugar levels, and more. Consequently,
canine cushing's disease, and excess cortisol production,
is something that just can't be ignored.
The medications prescribed by your veterinarian to treat Canine Cushings will vary according to the specific condition being treated and
might include
Lysodren,
Anipryl or
Ketoconazole.
Lysodren, a form of Mitotane from Bristol-Myers Squibb, can be an effective treatment against certain kinds of Canine Cushing's disease,
however, it can also have serious side effects, so pet owners will want to follow their veterinarian's instructions precisely.
Lysodren works against the effects of Cushing's disease by eroding away the layers of the adrenal gland to
subsequently slow down the overproduction of cortisol hormone.
Administration of lysodren to treat Cushing's disease involves two regimens, the initial
"Loading" dose phase and a second, longer term maintenance period.
Since it is possible to erode away
too much of the adrenal cortex,
monitoring your dog's behavior and watching for signs of adverse reactions will be very important throughout the course of
the
lysodren regimen. Monitoring includes your own at-home observation, as well as regular,
veterinarian administered blood tests. Although frequent at first, the frequency of the required blood tests often decreases
substantially once your veterinarian has moved your pet from the initial loading phase to the maintenance period of the regimen.
At-home observation includes watching for diarrhea, vomiting, appetite loss, decreased water consumption, lethargy or other changes.
If any of these symptoms are noticed you'll want to report it immediately to your veterinarian. As a matter of fact,
it is not a bad idea to visit with your veterinarian on a daily basis in the beginning throughout the initial loading phase.
Since water intake is an important part of measuring the
effect of lysodren on the body, it is also a good idea to actually measure the amount of water consumed by your pet and
report this to your veterinarian as well.
When giving
Lysodren, veterinarians often recommended giving it with food for proper absorption into the body
and to help prevent nausea. It is also advised that pet owner's wear disposable gloves for their own safety when
handling Lysodren, as well as, wash their hands should they come in direct contact with lysodren medications.
