“In a disease like MS that is life-long, it becomes important to know how well the drug works over the long term because that’s the time frame patients have to live with it.”
—Dr. Corey Ford, Associate Professor of Neurology at the University of New Mexico Health Sciences Center
Factors to consider when selecting a multiple sclerosis therapy
Multiple sclerosis therapy is a lifelong commitment, so it’s important to learn all the facts before you and your neurologist make a decision. You might want to make a list of questions to ask your doctor, or print out this list of questions about multiple sclerosis therapy that you can take with you to your next appointment. Along with those questions, there are several key factors you should consider before choosing a multiple sclerosis therapy:
- Effectiveness—your multiple sclerosis therapy should fight the destructive actions of MS
- Safety—your MS therapy should have proven long-term safety
- Tolerability—the way your MS therapy makes you feel should not have to interfere with your daily activities
- Ease of use—your therapy should fit your lifestyle
