    Acthar Gel being sold to new company

    Mallinckrodt Plc is buying Acthar Gel drugmaker Questcor.
    Acthar Gel is used for treating MS flare (attacks) when steroids do not help or the patient doesn't tolerate them well. Hopefully, the won't try to increase the price of Acthar Gel any further than Questcor did. The injectable drug, a formulation of pituitary hormones extracted from pigs, is priced at about $30,000 per vial.
