Description from the creator

Hello beautiful people! This video is a (hopefully) very detailed introduction on giving an intramuscular injection of adrenocorticotropin hormone (ACTH) to an infant. When my daughter, Haniya, was required to have ACTH injections over the course of a month, I found a lack of informative videos. So I made sure this video answered all the questions I had at that time.  ACTH is a hormone that is used in the treatment of infantile spasm or seizures. The medication is known as ACTHAR. I hope this video is helpful and takes a little of the anxiety out of injecting your child!

Thank you all for your support. I hope my videos continue to help! :)
