Experience with ACTH and cortisone in private practice.

ACTH and cortisone are highly nonspecific in their action. A fundamental portion of the mechanism of action is the interposition of a blockade between toxin and end organ. This effect can be of great benefit in the management of a variety of acute and chronic diseases.A major hazard constantly to be kept in mind is the potential masking of advancing disease. This consideration makes concomitant chemotherapy mandatory in the presence of specific infections. In chronic diseased states it should be assumed that prolonged therapy will be necessary. Treatment should not be instituted unless such continued therapy is physiologically and economically feasible.
