Intramuscular administration of acton prolongatum is cumbersome whereas intended intramuscular acton prolongatum or tetracosactide may often turn subcutaneous. Hence, we compared the subcutaneous ACTH-stimulated steroid profiling with those of the intramuscular routes.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>The study included 60 apparently-healthy adult females aged 18-40 years who were randomised to intramuscular tetracosactide (250 µg), intramuscular acton prolongatum (24 IU), subcutaneous tetracosactide (250 µg), and subcutaneous acton prolongatum (24 IU) groups in (1:1:1:1) ratio.
