At a pharmacological level, it manages the production of cortisol by inhibiting specific enzymes in the adrenal cortex. Commonly observed effects include behavioral shifts such as lethargy, weakness or localized digestive changes. Because it may influence the body's primary stress hormone, your veterinarian will perform regular blood work (ACTH stimulation tests). Owners should monitor for a significant decrease in appetite or energy and contact their veterinarian immediately with any concerns.
