Ponvory (ponesimod) is an FDA-approved daily pill for relapsing forms of MS, including relapsing-remitting MS and active secondary progressive MS. Many MyMSTeam members have shared their experiences with it!
Here's what members tend to say about it:
- The convenience of a once-daily tablet (vs. injections or infusions) is a big plus
- Some early stomach issues like bloating are common but tend to fade after the first two weeks
- Getting through the starter pack is the trickiest part — but it gets easier
- Monitoring and lab work before starting is important A few things worth knowing before or during treatment:
- Treatment begins with a 14-day starter pack where the dose gradually increases
- Blood pressure and white blood cell levels need to be monitored
- Infection risk can increase since Ponvory lowers certain white blood cells
- Regular eye exams may be recommended during treatment
As one MyMSTeam member put it: "I'm quite happy with Ponvory because it's just a tablet every day and seems to be working as far as I know." Always loop in your neurologist or MS specialist with any concerns!
