SUPRARENAL GLAND CM

Action of Medicine:

• This agent should be remembered in cases of collapse following violent exertion. In cases of "shocking" prolonged excitement, with fear and rage; also in cases dependent upon injury, acute infections, as dysentery, typhoid fever, influenza, when the adrenals are insufficient.
• The depression that occurs at times following ether or chloroform anaesthesia is often due to the influence of these agents on the output of these glands, and this condition is often benefited by the use of the suprarenal and pituitary.
• During an acute infection, in hay fever, in certain inflammations of the eye and to prevent hemorrhages before minor operations.
• Neurasthenic patients whose circulation is always low may be benefited by this agent but it must be continued for a long time and if the suprarenal tissue to be stimulated is not good but little will be attained.
