Acton prolongatum 60IU injection binds to specific receptors on the adrenal cortex, leading to an increase in the production and release of corticosteroid hormones, most notably cortisol. This increase in cortisol levels regulates various physiological processes, including metabolism, immune response, and stress response. In conditions like adrenal insufficiency (Addison's disease), where the adrenal glands fail to produce adequate cortisol, this therapy helps restore hormone balance, alleviating symptoms associated with cortisol deficiency and maintaining overall physiological stability.
