Secretin and Autism Ranking:

Cost and Time

Cost

The cost of using secretin will depend on a number of factors including the supplier, the form of secretin, the brand, the dosage, and the length and frequency of treatment.

It is now possible to obtain secretin at roughly the same rates as some other medications. For example, we found one supplier providing secretin in a dose of 250 UG for $250 when we did an internet search on 18 May 2018. This is considerably cheaper than in the early 2000’s when some parents in the USA were paying up to $10,000 a year to obtain supplies from overseas – according to the New York Times website, accessed on 18 May 2018. 

Time

The amount of time it takes to use secretin will depend on a number of factors including the overall length of treatment, the frequency of treatments and the time taken to administer a single dose, as well as the needs of the person undertaking it.

Secretin is normally only injected once but in some of the studies we looked at the participants were injected two or three times several weeks apart. In one of the other studies, an ointment containing secretin was applied to the skin daily for four weeks. In another study, a homeopathic infusion of secretin was taken twice a day for 12 weeks.
