What is Cortrosyn?

Cortrosyn is a brand-name prescription injection used to test the adrenal gland's ability to produce cortisol, a hormone that is essential to many of the body's functions, such as regulating blood sugar, cell functions, reducing swelling, controlling water levels in the body, and memory function. Cortisol is also essential to the body's handling of stress. The pituitary gland produces a hormone, ACTH, which attaches to cells on the adrenal gland and activates cortisol production by the adrenal glands.

Sometimes the body does not produce enough cortisol. This can be a serious and sometimes life-threatening condition. It is caused by problems with either the pituitary gland or the adrenal glands. Cortrosyn is administered to find out if low cortisol is due to the adrenal glands. Tetracosactide, also known as cosyntropin, works just like ACTH and stimulates the adrenal glands to produce cortisol. The doctor then tests to see if the adrenal gland is producing the expected amount of cortisol.

Cortrosyn is administered as two intramuscular injections for rapid testing or a slow infusion (four to eight hours) for a more precise test of adrenal gland function.

What are the side effects of Cortrosyn?

The most common side effects of Cortrosyn are reactions to the infusion or injections, including itching, rash, redness, or irritation. These reactions should fade in one or two days. Cortrosyn stimulates cortisol production, the so-called stress hormone. As a result, the most common side effects of Cortrosyn are stress responses, such as high blood pressure, rapid heartbeat, palpitations, flushing, and anxiety. Cortrosyn also causes swelling, dizziness, and trouble breathing. Allergic reactions are rare. The patient will be monitored throughout the process and after.
