Relacorilant (Recorlev): A Patient Guide

Published: July 26, 2026Updated: July 26, 2026

Relacorilant (brand name Recorlev) is an oral prescription medicine that blocks some of the effects of cortisol. It is used to treat endogenous Cushing syndrome, a condition in which the body produces too much cortisol. It can help reduce symptoms caused by excess cortisol, but it does not treat the underlying cause.

Quick summary

Relacorilant lowers the effects of excess cortisol in adults with endogenous Cushing syndrome. Take it exactly as prescribed and ask your doctor or pharmacist about side effects, adrenal problems, and interactions with your other medicines.
