Issues to Consider

There are many factors to consider when making an MS Therapy decision. Below are some important issues to discuss with your neurologist.

  • Aside from injection frequency, what are the major differences between therapies?
  • Will these therapies continue to be effective after a couple of years?
  • Have these therapies been studied for long-term safety?
  • Does this therapy require additional tests to monitor my blood, liver or other functions of my body?
  • What symptoms or side effects might I experience with these therapies?
    • Will I experience muscle pains and flu-like symptoms because of therapy?
  • How easily will the injection schedule fit into my daily routine?
  • What do I need to prepare before I can self-inject?
  • Is there a device to help me self-inject into difficult-to-reach places?
  • Is there a patient support program that will provide me with personal service in helping to manage my MS?
  • What is the cost of each of the therapies?
