Taking Recorlev®
Recorlev is a prescription medicine taken by mouth twice a day with or without food
Personalized dosing
- Your doctor will personalize your dose to ensure you're taking the right amount for you
- Personalizing means your dose may change more than once while you're taking Recorlev® (levoketoconazole). This is normal. Your doctor is trying to find the right dose of Recorlev for you to manage your cortisol levels and side effects
Monitoring and side effects
Monitoring
As with other medicines for Cushing's, monitoring by your doctor is important so they know how you're doing
- Measuring your cortisol during treatment with Recorlev helps your doctor tell if it is under control
- Heart and liver tests before and during treatment with Recorlev will help your doctor avoid side effects
