Consumer:

Adrenocorticotropic agents may cause peptic ulcer disease and gastrointestinal (GI) hemorrhage, usually when given in high dosages or for prolonged periods. Delayed healing of peptic ulcers has also been reported. Therapy with adrenocorticotropic agents, if necessary, should be administered cautiously in patients with active or latent peptic ulcers or other risk factors for GI bleeding. The manufacturers consider their use to be contraindicated in such setting.
