Dechra launches online video guides to aid Addison’s disease treatment

Dechra has announced the launch of new online resources to aid veterinary professionals in the diagnosis and treatment of canine hypoadrenocorticism.

The web-based video presentations are specifically aimed at vets who are prescribing the Dechra-manufactured therapy Zycortal for the condition, which is also known as Addison's disease.

Six videos have been released, ranging in length from ten to 37 minutes, and have been recorded by Dechra's technical team to provide additional information and support to vets on the use of Zycortal.

They will offer an introduction to hypoadrenocorticism and guidance on how to spot the signs and symptoms of the disease, as well as talking through the best ways of administering Zycortal and monitoring its use over time.

Craig Sankey, Dechra's brand manager, said: "The introduction of Zycortal has been a vital development in the treatment of the disease and we hope the new resources will be beneficial to veterinary professionals."

Zycortal is the only European licensed treatment for Addison's disease and has proven highly effective in clinical trials, with more than 80 percent of dogs responding positively to treatment.
