title: [Medical treatment and Cushing's disease].
abstract: The drugs proposed are considered according to their site of action. Synthetic anti-cortisol drugs (Op'DDD in particular and aminoglutethimide) appear to be the drugs of choice at present. They act on the adrenals, but research is now being carried out on drugs which act on ACTH secretion, E.g; cyproheptadine and bromocriptine.
