Interaction Information:

Comment High-dose corticosteroids are the standard of care for treating MS relapses. Corticosteroid treatment shortens the time to recovery from relapses, presumably due at least in part to their anti-inflammatory effects.

Comment Adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) gel (Acthar Gel), a long-acting formulation of the full sequence ACTH (1-39) that includes other pro-opiomelanocortin (POMC) peptides, is considered an alternative to steroids in treatment of optic neuritis and acute exacerbations of MS. ACTH effects were believed to depend on induction of endogenous corticosteroid production, but ACTH has been shown to be effective in the treatment of infantile spasms (IS), a condition in which corticosteroid treatment has limited effectiveness.
