Tremendous advancements in the treatment of multiple sclerosis has led to a rapid increase in disease-modifying therapies (DMTs). These medications can decrease relapses, lower the risk of disability worsening and reduce new MRI activity.

Factors that influence treatment selection are your MS disease activity, personal medical history and the benefits and risks of each medication.
