Selecting the Safest and Most Effective DMT for MS
Disease-Modifying Therapies (DMTs) are the cornerstone of managing Relapsing-Remitting Multiple Sclerosis (RRMS). They target the immune system to reduce neurological inflammation.
Main Types of DMTs
- Injectable Medications: Interferon beta and Glatiramer acetate. Classic therapies with solid, long-term safety profiles.
- Oral Medications: Fingolimod, Teriflunomide, and Dimethyl fumarate. Convenient capsules that regulate immune cell populations.
- Infusion Therapies: Natalizumab and Ocrelizumab. Highly effective monoclonal antibodies that block immune cells from entering the brain.
Collaborative decisions: Work closely with your neurologist to balance therapeutic efficacy with periodic safety monitoring.
