Although the drug treatment is not a first line therapy for endogenous hypercortisolism, it plays a key role in certain patients suffering Cushing's syndrome. Several drugs may be used in isolation or in combination. Ketoconazol is a useful, economic, safe and efficacious option at long term. A review was made of drugs with best results, doses, efficacy, adverse effects and perspectives, taking into account clinical assays in which they have been used.

Keywords : Cushing's syndrome; endogenous hypercortisolism; drug treatment.
