Starting a new treatment can be daunting, especially with a congenital heart defect. Mayzent (Siponimod) is an immunomodulator used for relapsing forms of multiple sclerosis. It's important to note that Mayzent can cause bradycardia (slowing of the heart rate).

Before starting Mayzent, you should:

- Consult with your healthcare provider: Discuss your heart condition and any concerns you have.

Always follow your doctor's advice and report any unusual symptoms immediately.

My doctor of 9 mos is telling me to go on MAYZANT in place of Glatiramer or Glatiramer Acetate. (Copacsen). Which is syringe taken 3times a week. Mayzent has a lot that can go wrong is there anyone who has been taking it for 4 mos and can compare it to what their legs were before and what they are like now? I’m not afraid of needles.?
