Trilotab 10mg Chewable Tablets for Dogs: Managing Canine Cushing’s Syndrome
10mg Trilotab contains trilostane, an active substance that inhibits the enzyme 3β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase. This inhibition reduces cortisol synthesis in the adrenal glands, thereby decreasing excessive cortisol levels in dogs with Cushing’s syndrome.
Administered orally, 10mg Trilotab is designed as a chewable, flavoured tablet to facilitate ease of administration. The tablet features a cross-shaped break line, allowing it to be divided into two or four equal parts to achieve precise dosing tailored to the dog's weight and specific needs.
VETERINARY PRESCRIPTION REQUIRED

More Information
Description
Cushing’s syndrome, or hyperadrenocorticism, is a prevalent endocrine disorder in dogs, particularly affecting those in middle to older age. It arises from prolonged exposure to elevated cortisol levels, a hormone produced by the adrenal glands. This condition can lead to various health issues, including increased thirst and urination, excessive appetite, abdominal enlargement, hair loss, and muscle weakness.
Understanding Cushing’s Syndrome in Dogs
Cushing’s syndrome manifests in two primary forms:
-
Pituitary-Dependent Hyperadrenocorticism (PDH): This is the most common form, accounting for approximately 85% of cases. It results from a benign tumour in the pituitary gland at the brain's base, leading to excessive production of adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH). Elevated ACTH levels stimulate the adrenal glands to overproduce cortisol.
-
Adrenal-Dependent Hyperadrenocorticism (ADH): This form is less common and occurs due to a tumour in one or both adrenal glands, causing increased cortisol production.
Common clinical signs of Cushing’s syndrome include:
- Increased thirst and urination
- Increased appetite
- Abdominal distension, often referred to as a "pot-bellied" appearance
- Hair loss, particularly on the body’s trunk
- Thinning skin
- Muscle weakness and lethargy
- Panting
- Recurrent skin infections
These symptoms develop gradually and may be mistaken for normal ageing changes. Therefore, a thorough veterinary evaluation is essential for accurate diagnosis and management.
