How is multiple sclerosis managed?

Question

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.
