Corticorelin Human Triflutate
Corticorelin Human Trifluate is a synthetic form of corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH) used primarily for diagnostic testing of pituitary and adrenal gland function. It stimulates the pituitary gland to release ACTH, helping physicians evaluate the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis and diagnose conditions related to adrenal hormone dysfunction.

Primarily used for diagnostic evaluation of Cushing's syndrome, differentiation between pituitary and ectopic sources of ACTH, assessment of hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis function, and evaluation of adrenal insufficiency disorders.
Acts as a synthetic agonist at CRH receptors on pituitary corticotroph cells, stimulating the release of ACTH. The resulting cortisol response helps evaluate the integrity and function of the HPA axis.
For diagnostic use only, administered intravenously during specialized testing procedures. Response patterns differ between healthy individuals and those with pituitary or adrenal pathology. Should be performed under specialist supervision with appropriate monitoring of hormone levels.
