A member asked:
What exactly is the option for an ms patient who is allergic to steroids?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Very rare: Unusual to have a steroid allergy, and perhaps really due to additive components in the pills or liquid preps. However, if you have a relapse, and you do badly on steroids, another choice is acthar, or acth, a pituitary hormone which has similar efficacy for relapses.
