Adrenocorticotropic hormones, which are often used clinically to treat adrenocortical insufficiency and also to modulate autoimmunity, have some adverse effects that require more attention in clinical use.
The more common adverse effects include hypercorticism, which can exacerbate the condition in patients with diabetes. It is likely that long-term use will induce osteoporosis and even lead to femoral head necrosis. If accompanied by infectious or ulcerative diseases, it is likely to lead to exacerbation of these diseases. Various psychiatric symptoms, such as insomnia, dizziness, headache, etc., are also likely to occur during the treatment period. If the drug is stopped quickly within a short period of time, the disease is likely to rebound and may even become more serious. The hormonal drugs are used to treat the disease in the clinical setting, and the indications for treatment must be strictly controlled.
If you are using this medication for a long time, you should monitor your body for calcium and blood glucose, and you should gradually reduce the dosage when you stop the medication, not stop it all at once, otherwise you are likely to get worse. If you are suffering from ulcers and other diseases, try not to use this type of medication.
