About Syntropac Injection 1 ml

Syntropac Injection 1 ml belongs to the group of medicines called pituitary hormones and analogues used instead of steroids to treat a number of conditions such as ulcerative colitis, Crohn's disease, rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthrosis, acute exacerbations of multiple sclerosis, some types of seizures in children, skin diseases responsive to corticoids, and additional therapy in cancer patients to improve the tolerability of chemotherapy. It is also used as a test to check if pituitary and adrenal glands are working properly.

Syntropac Injection 1 ml contains Tetracosactide, which is similar to the hormone that the pituitary gland normally produces (called ACTH) to make the adrenal glands produce certain steroids. Syntropac Injection 1 ml works on the adrenal glands by telling them to produce more steroids.

Disease/Condition Glossary

Ulcerative colitis: It is a type of chronic inflammatory bowel disease that causes inflammation of the lining of the large intestine (colon) and produces ulcers on the lining of the colon, which may cause bleeding and discharge of pus and mucus. The common symptoms include bloody stools, stomach pain, rectal pain, diarrhoea, fever, and weight loss. 
Crohn's disease: It is an inflammatory bowel disease that affects the lining of the digestive tract. Symptoms include diarrhoea, abdominal pain, fatigue, weight loss, abdominal pain, 
Rheumatoid arthritis: It is an autoimmune disease (the body's immune system attacks its tissue) that leads to joint pain and damage. Symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis include pain, swelling, stiffness, deformities and loss of joint function.
Osteoarthrosis: It is a joint disease in which the two ends of the joints come together due to the breakdown of a protective covering of cartilage. Due to the absence of this protective covering, the joints rub against each other, leading to pain and stiffness. Symptoms include pain, stiffness, inflammation and tenderness.
Multiple sclerosis: It is an autoimmune disease (the body attacks itself by mistake) that affects the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord). The immune system damages the myelin sheath (protective covering that surrounds the nerve cells), leading to disrupted communication between the brain and the body.
Seizures: Seizures, also known as fits or convulsions, are a single occurrence of abnormal electrical activity in the brain. Symptoms include muscle jerking, spasms, loss of balance, teeth clenching, rapid blinking or eye movements, biting the tongue, confusion, and loss of consciousness.
