Patient's Query
Hi doctor,
I am a 40-year-old man and have recently been diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. I have been prescribed Mavenclad. I find it difficult to understand the condition and the medication. Could you provide more information about multiple sclerosis and how Mavenclad works? What are the potential side effects I should be aware of, and how long does it take to show results?
Thank you.
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I read your query and understand your concern.
In easy and common terms, it is a slowly progressive disease of the nerves. The nerves are affected following an attack by the body's immune system. Medication nowadays prolongs the patient's life and allows a more productive life. Earlier, when medicines were unavailable, patients' lifespans were quite low. I suggest that you should understand the entire disease properly, step by step. I suggest to get on a call so that I can help you better.
Please revert in case of further queries.
Thank you.
