Trilostane for Cushing’s Disease: Tailored Relief for Your Pet

Watching your dog or cat struggle with Cushing’s disease can be heartbreaking. Excessive thirst, hair loss, and constant panting are just a few signs of this hormonal imbalance. At Allure Compounding Pharmacy, we specialize in custom-compounded trilostane—a proven treatment that helps manage cortisol levels and restore your pet’s quality of life.

Why Trilostane? How It Works

Trilostane is an FDA-approved medication for canine Cushing’s disease (hyperadrenocorticism). It works by:
✔ Blocking cortisol production in the adrenal glands
✔ Reducing symptoms like excessive thirst, weight gain, and skin thinning
✔ Providing consistent control with proper dosing

Unlike mass-produced tablets, our compounded trilostane ensures:
Exact dosing (no splitting tiny pills!)
Pet-friendly forms (chewable treats, liquids, or capsules)
Flavor options (beef, chicken, or fish for picky pets)

Signs Your Pet May Need Trilostane

Common Symptoms of Cushing’s Disease:

  • Excessive thirst & urination
  • Ravenous appetite (yet weight gain, especially pot-bellied appearance)
  • Thinning fur or bald patches
  • Lethargy or muscle weakness
  • Panting when not overheated

How We Customize Trilostane for Your Pet

1. Dosage Precision

  • Starting dose based on weight (typically 1-3 mg per pound)
  • Adjustments after ACTH stimulation tests
  • Low-dose options for small dogs and cats

2. Pet-Friendly Formats

  • Chewable treats (great for dogs who refuse pills)
  • Liquid suspensions (easy to mix with food)
  • Flavored capsules (chicken, fish, or unflavored for sensitive pets)

3. Special Considerations

  • Liver/kidney support blends (with milk thistle or SAMe)
  • Hypoallergenic formulas (for pets with food sensitivities)

What to Expect with Trilostane Treatment

Typical Timeline:

  • Week 1-2: Reduced thirst and urination
  • Month 1-2: Improved energy and skin health
  • Ongoing: Regular monitoring with your vet (ACTH tests every 3-6 months)

Potential Side Effects (Rare but Possible):

  • Lethargy or vomiting (if dose is too high)
  • Electrolyte imbalances (monitored via bloodwork)
