Diagnostic test for the investigation of adrenocortical insufficiency
Brand: Synacthen
Rationale: 4
*Hospital Use Only*
Tetracosactide is used to test adrenocortical function. Failure of the plasma
cortisol concentration to rise following administration of a single injection of
tetracosactide 250micrograms indicates adrenocortical insufficiency. Plasma
cortisol levels are measured prior to administration and afterwards (either half
an hour or an hour afterwards, or both). This is known as the short ACTH
stimulation (or, more commonly, as the short synacthen) test.

Lactation suppression after intrapartum loss or neonatal death.
Inhibition of lactation for medical reasons
The inhibition or suppression of puerperal lactation where medically indicated such as after intrapartum loss or neonatal death.
BROMOCRIPTINE is not recommended for the routine suppression of lactation or for the relief of symptoms of post-partum pain and engorgement which can be adequately treated with simple analgesics and breast support. The medication will generally be prescribed in Secondary Care, although there may be occasions when prescribing the one off prescription may need to be done in Primary Care.
