About this active substance

Osilodrostat is a medication used for the treatment of Cushing's syndrome, a condition caused by excessive cortisol production. It works by inhibiting the enzyme 11-beta-hydroxylase, thereby reducing cortisol synthesis.

The medication is taken orally, usually twice daily, as directed by your doctor. It is important to monitor cortisol levels and undergo regular check-ups to assess the effectiveness of the treatment.

Side effects may include fatigue, nausea, headache, hypokalemia, or, in rare cases, adrenal insufficiency.

Patients should inform their doctor about any other medications being used or pre-existing conditions to ensure the safe use of osilodrostat.
