Tetracosactide

Uses

Tetracosactide is used in the diagnosis of Addison's disease.

How it Works

Tetracosactide triggers the release of steroids from the adrenal gland, making it useful as a diagnostic agent for the ACTH stimulation test to assess adrenal gland function.

Side Effects

Common side effects of tetracosactide include hypersensitivity, psychotic disorder, increased intraocular pressure, and salt and water retention.

Expert Advice

  • Inform your doctor immediately if you experience any allergic symptoms, such as rash, itching, difficulty breathing, or swelling of the face, lips, or tongue.
  • Do not receive any immunization or vaccination without your doctor’s approval while taking Tetracosactide.
  • If you suffer an injury requiring medical help or are going to have surgery during treatment with Tetracosactide or within one year after treatment has stopped, inform the doctor, surgeon, or anesthetist about this medicine.
  • Avoid driving, operating machinery, or engaging in activities that require alertness until you understand how this medicine affects you.
  • Tetracosactide may increase your susceptibility to infections; therefore, avoid close contact with anyone who has an infectious disease.

Frequently asked questions

Tetracosactide is administered via an injection into the muscles by a healthcare professional.
Tetracosactide is used as a diagnostic test to assess the function of the adrenal glands, which are located next to the kidneys.
For diagnostic purposes, a single injection of Tetracosactide is given, followed by two blood samples: one before the injection and another 30 minutes after. For therapeutic uses, it may be administered as long as it provides symptom relief, but it does not cure the condition.
It is unlikely to miss a dose since a healthcare professional administers Tetracosactide. If you have concerns, consult your doctor or nurse.
You should inform your doctor if you are taking medications for diabetes, high blood pressure, or seizures, as adjustments to your treatment may be necessary.
