Desoxycorticosterone Pivalate (DOCP) is a mineralocorticoid replacement therapy for dogs with primary hypoadrenocorticism (Addison’s disease). The compound, which can be found in the drug Zycortal, is used in dogs to replace aldosterone and help treat hyponatremia (low sodium levels), hypochloremia (low chloride levels), hyperkalemia (high potassium levels), and hypovolemia (low blood volume). DOCP was designed to correct aldosterone deficiency in dogs with primary hypoadrenocorticism (PH). As such, the drug works by mimicking the physiologic effects of endogenous aldosterone.
Zycortal is a formulation of DOCP for Dogs that is administered as an injection under the skin every 3 to 4 weeks, depending on severity of symptoms. Zycortal contains a long-acting analog of desoxycorticosterone, which is an endogenous steroid hormone and precursor to aldosterone. When administered parenterally, it produces the same physiologic effects as endogenous aldosterone, increasing sodium retention in the distal tubule and renal collecting ducts through active sodium resorption and upregulated sodium/potassium exchange. Thus, DOCP increases serum sodium and chloride concentrations; promotes potassium excretion; and results in enhanced osmotic renal water retention.
