Acthar rep here...Has anyone ever worked for a company that didn't tell you what the drug costs? Or even better....hey dude how about a heads up when you take a price increase! I have read Acthar costsanywhere from 42K to 52/vial. It would be great to know when the MD's ask. Weird that it's politically incorrect to ask.

I started to pay attention to the price of Acthar (adrenocorticotropic hormone, Armour Pharm. Co.) when I worked for them in 1978. It cost just a few dollars per vial; in fact, my manager used it as a "work indicator". If you didn't have several turnover orders (orders taken in office and then turned over to drug wholesalers) for Acthar every week, you weren't working. Most PC offices stocked at least one vial. I don't know how or when the price increased several thousand fold, but someone is making a killing. I doubt any PC office stocks it now!!
