There are many medical treatments available by prescription only. These conventional medicines can be taken via an injection through the skin or into the muscle, while others can be taken orally in pill form. Injectable medications, such as beta interferons and glatiramer acetate, are used to treat relapsing-remitting MS. They are an excellent choice for first time MS patients. Injections will depend on the severity of the disease and may range from once every other day to once a week.

Several oral medications are available in tablet or capsule form. Fingolimod is a once-daily tablet that has been shown to reduce physical disabilities associated with the disease. Teriflunomide is another once-daily pill that is used to minimize the duration of multiple sclerosis flares and increase the patient’s time spent in remission. Dimethyl fumarate can be taken twice per day as a capsule, and it is designed to promote remission by deactivating the symptoms of the disease.
