What is Metopirone?

Metopirone is a brand-name prescription drug used to test the adrenal gland's ability to produce cortisol, a hormone essential to the body's ability to regulate cell functions, blood sugar, swelling, fluid levels in the body, stress, and memory. The adrenal gland produces cortisol when the pituitary gland secretes the hormone, ACTH, or adrenocorticotropic hormone.

Adrenal insufficiency is a condition in which the adrenal glands do not produce enough cortisol, a serious and potentially life-threatening condition. Either the pituitary gland is not producing enough ACTH or the adrenal glands are not producing enough cortisol.

Metyrapone, the active ingredient in Metopirone, works just like ACTH. When it attaches to cells in the adrenal glands, it stimulates them to produce cortisol. Metopirone is administered as a single capsule. If cortisol levels rise, then the problem is due to the pituitary glands. If cortisol levels don't rise, the problem is adrenal insufficiency.

What are the side effects of Metopirone?

The most common side effects of Metopirone are nausea, vomiting, headache, dizziness, abdominal pain, and low pressure. Allergic reactions are rare. The patient will be monitored throughout the process and after, so report any sign of an allergic reaction to the attending physician.
