Fingolimod (Gilenya) is a medicine that can help people with multiple sclerosis (MS). It does not cure MS. It can help to reduce the number of MS attacks and slow down the progression of the disease.
Fingolimod works by reducing the number of immune cells that can damage the nerves in the brain and spinal cord. However, It is important to talk to your doctor about whether fingolimod is right for you or not. Fingolimod can have some side effects, so it is important to weigh the benefits and risks before starting treatment.
