📋Overview
Korlym is a medication that contains mifepristone, which acts as a glucocorticoid receptor antagonist. It is primarily used in the management of high blood sugar levels in adults with endogenous Cushing's syndrome, a condition characterized by excess cortisol production. By blocking the effects of cortisol, Korlym helps address symptoms related to this hormonal imbalance. It is typically considered when other treatments for Cushing's syndrome are not suitable or effective.
