Desopan

Desopan Uses, Dosage, Side Effects, Food Interaction and all others data.

Desopan is an inhibitor of 3 beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase used in the treatment of Cushing's syndrome. It was withdrawn from the United States market in April 1994.

Desopan blocks an enzyme involved in the production of several steroids including cortisol. Inhibiting this enzyme inhibits the production of cortisol. In Cushing's syndrome, the adrenal gland overproduces steroids. Although steroids are important for various functions of the body, too much can cause problems. Desopan reduces the amount of steroids produced by the adrenal gland. This product was withdrawn from the U.S. market in April 1994.
