Product Overview:

Mitotane is a cytotoxic medication used primarily for the treatment of adrenocortical carcinoma, a rare type of cancer that originates in the outer layer of the adrenal glands. Marketed internationally under the brand name Lysodren, this drug works by selectively destroying adrenal cortex cells and suppressing the production of corticosteroids, which are hormones that regulate metabolism, immune function, and other vital processes.

Mitotane is generally prescribed when the tumor is inoperable or has metastasized. It may be used as a monotherapy or in combination with other therapies depending on the severity of the condition.

Key Benefits:

• Effective in treating adrenal cortex cancer

• Reduces excessive adrenal hormone production

• Used when surgical removal of tumor is not possible

• Often recommended as long-term therapy under medical supervision
