What benefits does acthar gel have?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Very expensive : Acthar gel was in vogue many decades ago and was used to treat a disorder called infantile spasms as well as other conditions that were causing inflammation of organ systems. It is an animal derived endocrine substance that would stimulate the human adrenal gland to release a hormone called cortisol. Long term benefits/side effects are similar to the much cheaper steroids such as Prednisone .
