A member asked:

Acthar q week and pred 25mg daily. taper over 4 months. severe prob return before acthar when decreased pred. shouldn't acthar allow for faster taper?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

See details: Other than being incredibly expensive, acthar gel has little benefit over prednisone. Currently you feel better because you are taking 2 separate forms of corticosteroids. You are simply in the process of trading one form for another. Why are you taking these meds in the first place?
