There are over 20 FDA-approved disease-modifying therapies (DMTs) for relapsing forms of MS (which includes RRMS). They fall into a few main categories based on how they're taken:

Infused Treatments (given by IV at a clinic)
- Alemtuzumab (Lemtrada)
- Ocrelizumab (Ocrevus)
- Natalizumab (Tysabri)
- Ubilituximab-xiiy (Briumvi)

Oral Treatments (taken by mouth)
- Fingolimod (Gilenya)
- Ozanimod (Zeposia)
- Ponesimod (Ponvory)
- Siponimod (Mayzent)
- Dimethyl fumarate (Tecfidera)
- Diroximel fumarate (Vumerity)
- Teriflunomide (Aubagio)
- Cladribine (Mavenclad)

Injectable Treatments (self-injected at home)
- Interferon beta-1a (Avonex, Rebif)
- Interferon beta-1b (Betaseron, Extavia)
- Glatiramer acetate (Copaxone, Glatopa)
- Ofatumumab (Kesimpta) Each person responds differently to these medications, and the best choice depends on your MS type, activity level, lifestyle, and how you prefer to take your medication. A neurologist can help figure out the right fit — it's always worth having that conversation, especially if things feel like they're changing.

I’ve taken Avonex for 13 years and did well. Then Aubagio for another 10 and that worked well for me. Now I’m on Kesimpta, that too is working. I’ve tried Vumerity and Tecfidera, both of which I had bad reactions to. Good luck to you. 🧡💪🧡

I did capaxone for a few months and couldn’t do the injections anymore, now I take Aubagio. There are lots of treatments to choose from. You have to pick which one is right for your body and medical history.

I took Copaxzone for 6 months after the MS DX. I haven't taken any Drugs for MS in over 37 Years now. I, do however use Vitamins and Herbs.
