What is Trilocur Oral Suspension?
Trilocur Oral Suspension is a prescription-only veterinary medicine containing trilostane 50mg/ml, used for the treatment of hyperadrenocorticism (Cushing's disease) in dogs.
Trilocur is supplied as a liquid oral suspension, allowing accurate dosing for dogs that may require dose adjustments or where capsule formulations are unsuitable. The active ingredient, trilostane, works by reducing excessive cortisol production from the adrenal glands.
What is Cushing's Disease in Dogs?
Cushing's disease, also known as canine hyperadrenocorticism, is a common hormonal disorder caused by excessive cortisol production.
Common symptoms of Cushing's disease in dogs may include:
- Increased thirst
- Increased urination
- Increased appetite
- Panting
- Hair loss
- Thin skin
- Muscle weakness
- A pot-bellied appearance
- Recurring skin infections
- Reduced exercise tolerance
If left untreated, Cushing's disease can significantly affect a dog's quality of life and may increase the risk of secondary health problems.
How Does Trilostane Work?
Trilocur contains trilostane, which reduces cortisol production by inhibiting an enzyme involved in adrenal hormone synthesis.
By lowering excessive cortisol levels, trilostane helps improve many of the clinical signs associated with Cushing's disease while allowing long term management of the condition.
Why Choose a Liquid Trilostane Formulation?
Trilocur Oral Suspension provides a flexible alternative to trilostane capsules.
A liquid formulation may be particularly useful for:
- Small dogs requiring lower doses
- Patients needing precise dose adjustments
- Dogs that struggle to swallow capsules
- Cases where veterinary monitoring requires gradual dose changes
Monitoring Dogs Receiving Trilocur
Dogs receiving trilostane require regular monitoring by their veterinary surgeon. Monitoring may include clinical assessment, blood tests, and ACTH stimulation testing to ensure treatment remains safe and effective.
The correct dose varies between individual dogs and may need adjustment over time.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Trilocur the same as trilostane?
Trilocur is a veterinary medicine containing the active ingredient trilostane. Trilostane is the medication used to manage Cushing's disease in dogs.
Can Trilocur be used in small dogs?
Yes. The liquid formulation allows accurate dosing and may be particularly useful in smaller patients where capsule strengths are not ideal.
How long does trilostane take to work?
Many dogs show improvement in clinical signs within the first few weeks of treatment, although ongoing monitoring is required to optimise dosing.
Can Cushing's disease be cured?
Most cases of canine hyperadrenocorticism are managed rather than cured. Trilostane helps control cortisol production and improve quality of life.
Do I need a prescription for Trilocur?
Yes. Trilocur Oral Suspension is classified as a Prescription Only Medicine – Veterinarian (POM-V) and can only be supplied following receipt of a valid veterinary prescription.
