Prophylactic drugs to decrease attacks of Multiple Sclerosis
What prophylactic drugs are available to decrease attacks of Multiple Sclerosis?
There is no cure for Multiple Sclerosis, but several drugs have been approved in the United States as long-term maintenance therapy to reduce the rate of attacks in relapsing–remitting Multiple Sclerosis.
