Medical Description
Synacthene injection is used in an adrenal stimulation test to assess adrenal gland function when adrenal insufficiency, including Addison's disease, is suspected. Its active ingredient is tetracosactide acetate, a synthetic form of the body's adrenal-stimulating hormone. It prompts the adrenal glands to release steroid hormones, allowing healthcare professionals to compare blood test results and judge whether the glands respond normally. A doctor or nurse gives Synacthene injection in a hospital or clinic, and it is not for self-administration.
