Desoxycorticosterone pivalate (CAT: R055777) is a long-acting mineralocorticoid and synthetic analog of desoxycorticosterone. It is widely used in veterinary medicine for the management of primary hypoadrenocorticism (Addison’s disease) in dogs. DOCP effectively restores electrolyte balance by maintaining sodium and potassium homeostasis, thereby controlling clinical symptoms. A typical starting dose of 1.5 mg/kg provides effective regulation for most dogs, with adjustments made to sustain injection intervals of 28–30 days. Younger and growing animals may require higher dosages. DOCP remains a valuable therapeutic agent in adrenal insufficiency research and veterinary endocrinology.
