商品名：Cortrosyn, Synthetic corticotropin, Tetracosactrin, and
Cosyntropin is a synthetic form of the peptide hormone corticotropin (ACTH). It is also known in international formularies as Tetracosactrin or Tetracosactide. Cosyntropin is an aqueous solution, whereas ACTH is a gel. Therefore cosyntropin can be administered IV, but ACTH gel cannot. Cosyntropin is also more potent than ACTH. Administration of cosyntropin will stimulate secretion of cortisol from Cosyntropin 181 C adrenal glands. Administration of cosyntropin also will stimulate secretion of sex hormones of adrenal origin.
Cosyntropin is used for diagnostic purposes to evaluate adrenal gland function. Maximum peak cortisol secretion occurs at 60-90 minutes. It is used for the same purpose as corticotropin, but in humans it is preferred over corticotropin because it is less allergenic.
