VETORYL(r) capsules can be administered to treat pituitary-dependent hyperadrenocorticism, which is at the base of most canine Cushing's cases, according to Dechra Veterinary Products. Dechra's VETORYL also has received designation status as a Minor Use Drug for the treatment of hyperadrenocorticism caused by adrenal tumors. It is the first drug to gain approval for this use and the first drug to get a Minor Use designation for dogs.
