A member asked:
Head injury from short fall, doctor diagnosed multiple sclerosis, given 3 doses of rituximab, is the diagnosis and medication correct ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See below: The diagnosis of MS can be rather complex, as several other entities need to be excluded, and the MS does need confirmation. But assuming diagnosis is correct, the drug Rituxamab would actually be a rather terrific choice. Cannot confirm your diagnosis based on information provided.
