A member asked:

Dr. Elden Rand answered

Specializes in Cardiology

Probably not: Cortrosyn is a synthetic acth (adrenocorticotropic hormone) administered to see if the adrenal gland can make cortisol when stimulated. It would be very rare to have an adverse reaction. One could have a hypersensitivity reaction, but again would be quite rare.

Dr Amico Jr and 2 doctors agreed
