Endogenous Cushing's syndrome, at times referred to as hypercortisolism, is a rare condition caused by too much cortisol in your body. "Endogenous" means that something inside your body causes too much cortisol production.
If you have been diagnosed with Cushing’s and are experiencing symptoms, ask your doctor if RECORLEV® (levoketoconazole) may be right for you.
Cortisol is a hormone made by the adrenal glands—located on top of the kidneys—that plays an important role in the way your body functions, including:

Irregular cortisol production can affect your entire body, including your bones and your immune, cardiovascular, and nervous systems.
