What is Percorten-V for Dogs?
- Percorten-V is a prescription injectable corticosteroid that helps replace your dog's deficient mineralcorticoids.
- Your dog’s adrenal gland helps regulate many key levels in the body including potassium, sodium, and electrolytes.
- When the adrenal gland stops producing the steroid your dog needs to manage those levels effectively, your dog can develop hypoadrenocorticism, commonly called Canine Addison’s Disease.
- Percorten-V, containing the hormone replacement Desoxycorticosterone Pivalate, replaces some of the missing stress hormones your dog needs.
Why do dogs use Percorten-V?
- If your dog has Addison’s Disease, or hypoadrenocorticism, your veterinarian may prescribe Percorten-V.
What else should I know about Percorten-V?
- Treats Addison’s Disease in dogs and cats.
- Discard within 4 months after opening.
- For dosing, needles and syringes without needle (to use with any needle) are sold separately. Consult your veterinarian for the appropriate sizes.
- Looking for Zycortal Suspension? Percorten-V and Zycortal Suspension have the same active ingredient desoxycorticosterone pivalate, but are not interchangeable drugs.
What problems could my dog have with Percorten-V?
- Contact your veterinarian immediately if you notice greater thirst or need to urinate, swelling of the limbs, weakness, lack of energy, shaking, collapse, loss of appetite, weight loss, vomiting, or diarrhea.
How do you use Percorten-V?
- Shake well before use.
- Percorten-V is given under the skin (subcutaneously) or into the muscle (intramuscularly) every 20 to 30 days. Follow your veterinarian's directions.
What is in Percorten-V?
- The drug in Percorten-V is Desoxycorticosterone Pivalate (DOCP).
- DOCP is a mineralocorticoid hormone replacement.
Will I get what I see in the picture?
- Percorten-V is a brand name. You will receive the exact brand that you request.
Is it important for my dog or cat to finish all of the Percorten-V?
- Dogs may use Percorten-V for different lengths of time. Please consult your veterinarian if you have any questions.

Lifesaving medication & trusted site
From UndisclosedComments about Percorten-V 25 mg/mL, 4mL Multiple Dose VialThis site for pet medications is the most trusted site I have come across. My angel dog, Astro, was diagnosed with Addison's disease almost 3 years ago. This medication is a lifesaver for him. I know that I can trust VETRXDIRECT for all of his prescription needs. I never have to worry about shipping or getting the medication on time. The prices are very competitive and everything is hassle-free. Thank you. -

This medication saved my pup.
From UndisclosedComments about Percorten-V 25 mg/mL, 4mL Multiple Dose VialPercorten-V was prescribed by our veterinarian in the last attempt to save & extend our pup's life & needless to say, it worked & is still working. Our pup has Addison's Disease, not common in German Shepherds. I inject Percorten-V into the muscle of his hind leg once a month. Sometimes it hurts him, other times he doesn't really feel it. More painful for me I'm sure, but I know it is why he's still with me. VetRX is the cheapest & it arrives in less time as expected. Opie & I will stay on this path until it's no longer effective. Also, he was diagnosed with Addison's Disease at age 5. We just celebrated his 7th birthday. -
Miracle medicine!
From UndisclosedComments about Percorten-VPercorten-V has been an invaluable medicine that helps my Goldendoodle cope with his Addison's Disease. I inject him at home 1x/ month.-

Best for maintaining my sweet Jett's Addison's Disease
From Atlanta, GAComments about Percorten-VPercorten is the #1 recommended product to help treat canine Addison's Disease. As long as Jett gets his Percorten injection every 28 days, he will live a long and happy life! It is so much more affordable to order from VetRxDirect, rather than to get it straight through our vets office. Highly recommend! Thanks VetRx!-
Jett stays happy and healthy thanks to VetRxDirect!

Q & A
-
My dog was on Zycortal for 2 months(doses) but now the vet is going to give him Percorten this month. Will my dog be fine switching??
-
Percorten-V and Zycortal contain the same active ingredient desoxycorticosterone pivalate (DOCP). Percorten-V was granted by the FDA for use as replacement therapy for the mineralocorticoid deficit in dogs with primary adrenocortical insufficiency. Zycortal was exclusively granted by the FDA for use as replacement therapy for mineralocorticoid deficiency in dogs with primary hypoadrenocorticism (Addison’s Disease). There is evidence of veterinarians switching dogs from Zycortal to Percorten-V and vice versa. There may be a reason why your veterinarian is switching your dog from one medication to the other. Please consult with your veterinarian about the reason for the switch as they will be able to best address your questions and concerns since they are most aware of your dog’s condition.

How many doses are in a vial?
-
The dose of Percorten-V given depends on many factors. Initially the dose may be based on your dogs weight. Later the dose may be adjusted based upon laboratory test results and your dog’s response to the medication.These variables make it impossible to say the number of doses you will get out of a vial. For reference, each 4mL vial contains 100 mg of active ingredient. The manufacturer recommends that the vial should be discarded 4 months after first use.
