Immunomod/supp Rx: The current therapies are broken down into the platform drugs- abcr (avonex, betaseron, copaxone, rebif) and the newer agents which are more immunosuppressive such as tysabri (natalizumab) and gilenya. 2 new oral agents (tecfidera and aubagio) have not been on the market long enough to see if they too can cause opportunistic infections. I hope this helps but please discuss with your neurologist. Be well!

Several now: Historically, injectable interferons, such as Avonex, Betaseron, Rebif, Copaxone, largely being replaced by Tysabri (natalizumab), (natalizumab) Tecfidera, Aubagio, Gilenya. Vitamin D supplements and low salt/low fat diet may help. Smoking must be stopped. Most potent drugs are Tysabri (natalizumab) and Gilenya, followed by Tecfidera, Aubagio, Copaxone 40, and the rest.
