What to do if i have been asked to try acthar gel for ms thearpy can you find any information on the effects of this drug?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Use the drug: Acthar's value is to act like a steroid, but may be beneficial in cases of bad steroid reactions, or ineffective outcomes. Downside of high cost, but can be self injected over 5-10 days, and will have equal efficacy, and similar side effects to oral steroids.
