ACTHAR
or ACTH is an alternative to intravenous steroids. This is the only FDA
approved treatment for MS exacerbations.
While
expensive, this causes the natural stimulation of hormones in the body that
controls inflammation. Like the injectable medications, this is done at home for
5 days, self administered by the patient. its a good alternative to IV Steroids
when patient’s are either non-responsive, or have intolerable side effects.
Talk to your neurologist/MS specialist about it.
