Cosyntropin (Cortrosyn) IV Therapy
Cosyntropin IV Therapy, often referred to as Cortrosyn IV Therapy, is a medical treatment that involves administering cosyntropin, a synthetic form of adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH). ACTH is a naturally occurring hormone that stimulates the adrenal glands to produce cortisol, an essential hormone that plays a critical role in regulating metabolism, immune function, blood pressure, and stress response.
Cosyntropin IV Therapy is used for both diagnostic and therapeutic purposes, depending on the individual’s condition.

How Does Cosyntropin IV Therapy Work?
When administered intravenously, cosyntropin mimics the effects of ACTH, encouraging the adrenal glands to release cortisol and other steroid hormones. This therapy helps evaluate adrenal gland function and, in some cases, treat conditions caused by adrenal insufficiency or other hormonal imbalances.
Uses of Cosyntropin IV Therapy
1. Diagnostic Testing (ACTH Stimulation Test)
- Adrenal Function Assessment: Cosyntropin is commonly used in an ACTH stimulation test to diagnose conditions like Addison’s disease, secondary adrenal insufficiency, or congenital adrenal hyperplasia.
- Response Monitoring: The test measures how well the adrenal glands respond to stimulation, helping physicians determine if they are functioning correctly.
2. Therapeutic Applications
- Adrenal Insufficiency: In some cases, cosyntropin may be used to temporarily boost adrenal function in individuals with cortisol deficiency.
- Inflammatory Conditions: Cosyntropin IV Therapy may help manage inflammatory or autoimmune conditions by increasing cortisol levels, which have anti-inflammatory effects.
- Shock or Critical Illness: It may be used in certain critical care scenarios to support the body’s stress response.
Benefits of Cosyntropin IV Therapy
- Accurate Diagnosis: Helps pinpoint adrenal gland dysfunction with high precision.
- Effective Cortisol Boost: Provides rapid stimulation of cortisol production when needed.
- Customized Treatment: Used under physician guidance for targeted therapeutic interventions.
