Percorten^®-V

Percorten®-V (desoxycorticosterone pivalate) is a prescription product for use in mineralocorticoid deficient dogs for the treatment of Canine Addison's Disease (hypoadrenocorticism). In treating canine hypoadrenocorticism, Percorten®-V replaces the mineralocorticoid hormones only.

DOCP is a long-acting ester of desoxycorticosterone acetate (DOCA) which is recognized as having the same qualitative effects as the natural mineralocorticoid hormone aldosterone. The most important effect of DOCP is to increase the rate of renal tubular absorption of sodium.
