Two different meds: solumedrol is a steroid only used for short term and has long term side effects. Aubagio may help decrease the frequency of future flares but is not a cure. They are two different medications. Talk to your specialist for more information. If I had MS, I would taper off the Solumedrol when I could and take a long term preventive med as advised by my neurologist.
