WHAT IS THIS MEDICINE INTENDED FOR?
PLEGRIDY is intended for the treatment of symptoms of
relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis.
THERAPEUTIC GROUP: Interferons.
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic illness that affects the central
nervous system (CNS), including
the brain and spinal cord. In this illness the body
’
s immune system damages the protective layer
(myelin) that surrounds the nerves in the brain and spinal cord. This
disrupts the messages between
the brain and other parts of the body, causing the symptoms of MS. In
relapsing-remitting MS there
are periods when the disease is not active (remission) in between
flare-ups of symptoms (relapses).
The disease can be manifested in various forms in different patients.
The symptoms of multiple
sclerosis include:
•
Feeling off-balance or light headed, walking problems, stiffness and
muscle spasms, tiredness,
numbness in the face, arms or legs
•
Acute or chronic pain, bladder and bowel problems, sexual prob
