Presentation

The limiting characteristics of the subject of the present invention are related to the claims that are part of the present specification. [patents.justia.com]

These arguments are presented in this debate article reflecting the views of groups that currently use and do not use cosyntropin. [eje.bioscientifica.com]

Available Products There are no presentations available Estimated Resupply Dates Amphastar has Cortrosyn 0.25 mg vials on back order and the company cannot estimate a release date. [ashp.org]

We report a 44-year-old Caucasian female who presented with hypoglycemia and hypotension. The patient had a basal cortisol of 1.6 ug/dl and a peak serum cortisol of 23.3 ug/dl after 250 ug of cosyntropin. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Entire Body System

  • Intravenous Administration

    Plasma cortisol and ACTH were measured at baseline and at intervals over a one hour period following intravenous administration of 1μg of cosyntropin. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

    Intravenous Administration May be administered by direct IV injection as a rapid screening test or as an IV infusion, over 4—8 hours, to provide a greater stimulus to the adrenal glands. [pdr.net]

    This prospective, randomized, multi-center study hypothesized no difference in efficacy of EBP and the intravenous administration of the ACTH analogue, cosyntropin, in the treatment of PDPH. [academic.oup.com]

  • Hypothermia

Gastrointestinal

  • Salt Craving

    Irritability, depression, and salt-craving are other chronic symptoms. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Cardiovascular

  • Palpitations

    […] drawn from the inferior vena cava or peripheral samples should be higher than from the contralateral suppressed gland.19 Side effects of cosyntropin include nausea, anxiety, sweating, dizziness, itchy skin, redness and or swelling at injection site, palpitations [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Eyes

  • Blurred Vision

    If you feel dizzy or get blurred vision after you have been given Synacthen injection, do not drive or operate machinery until these effects have worn off. Not to be used in People who suffer from allergies or asthma. [netdoctor.co.uk]

    vision, severe swelling, severe dizziness, trouble breathing, or an irregular heartbeat. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Neurologic

  • Neglect

    Abstract Notwithstanding the high prevalence of primary aldosteronism (PA), probably the most common form of secondary hypertension, the diagnosis of PA is often neglected or delayed, thus precluding target treatment, which is curative in many cases. [eje.bioscientifica.com]

Workup

Initial adrenal workups involve cortisol testing and ACTH stimulation. [arupconsult.com]

Hypertrophy

  • Ventricular Hypertrophy

    Target treatment of PA, and particularly adrenalectomy if a lateralized form is identified, has been shown to be highly effective in providing long-term biochemical cure, regression of left ventricular hypertrophy (10), and also lowering of the incidence [eje.bioscientifica.com]

Treatment

[…] amount of aldosterone Indication : Screening of adrenocortical insufficiency: Adrenal vein sampling (AVS) in primary aldosteronism Therapeutic use: Synacthen Depot Contraindications : Hypersensitivity to cosyntropin or any component of the formulation, Treatment [pediatriconcall.com]

A fifth embodiment would be the use of the dosage form to prepare a medicament for the treatment or prophylaxis of diseases for which corticosteroids are indicated, preferably for the treatment or prophylaxis of infantile spasm. [patents.justia.com]

Current treatments consist primarily of non-invasive treatment with intravenous fluids and caffeine therapy and invasive treatment by Epidural Blood Patch. Efficacy of Caffeine 300mg IV BID x 1d doses is approximately 70% (2). [druglib.com]

The diagnosis and treatment of adrenal insufficiency in critical illness has been the subject of controversy for over 30 years. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Prognosis

A cosyntropin adrenal stimulation test was administered to each patient and the response was correlated with the past transplant course and their subsequent prognosis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

In this latter setting, which is the par excellence model for ischemia/reperfusion, nonresponse to the CST is correlated with longer ischemia duration and poorer prognosis (28). [journals.lww.com]

Etiology

Pathophysiology

These findings confirm that adrenal sensitivity to corticotropin (ACTH) is enhanced in MDD and suggest that this endocrine abnormality may be related pathophysiologically to the resistance of cortisol secretion to dexamethasone suppression. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

CONCLUSIONS: LD cosyntropin stimulation testing results should be interpreted cautiously when used alone to prevent unnecessary long-term treatment. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
