Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic condition that affects the central nervous system. This system includes the brain and spinal cord. It contains the nerves that control everything your body does, such as thinking, feeling, seeing, smelling, tasting, and moving. MS affects about 1 in 1,000 people and usually appears between the ages of 20 and 40, although it may occur at any age.
Your nerves are covered by an intact protective layer known as the myelin sheath. This covering helps to speed electrical signals in the brain. With MS, researchers think that the myelin sheath somehow becomes inflamed and damaged in small patches. It is not known what chain of events starts this damage, but once the injury occurs, electrical signals in the brain are slowed down.
It is believed that MS is an autoimmune disease (a condition in which an individual's immune system starts reacting against his or her own tissues) and cannot be spread from person to person. For unknown reasons, the immune system sees the myelin sheath as foreign and attacks it.
There are three types of MS:
Relapsing-remitting MS is the most common form of MS, affecting 85%-90% of people with the condition at onset. This type of MS is associated with "flare-ups" where symptoms worsen for weeks or months, and with remissions where symptoms completely or partially improve.
Primary-progressive MS affects 10% of people with MS and is associated with slow, but mostly continuous, worsening of the disease from the time of onset.
Secondary-progressive MS is associated with an initial period of relapsing-remitting disease followed by steady worsening and minor remissions. Approximately 50% of people with relapsing-remitting MS will develop this form of MS within 10 years.
We sort your medication into clearly labeled, individual packs so you can be sure you're taking the right dose at the right time.
The cause of MS is still unknown. However, most research suggests that an abnormal response by the immune system damages the myelin sheath.
Normally, the immune system protects and defends the body against foreign substances. But with autoimmune diseases, the body attacks its own tissue. Researchers don't know exactly what causes the immune system to do this, but they know that certain factors are involved, including:
We manage your refills and get in touch with your doctors for prescription renewals so that you always have the medication you need.
MS is unpredictable and affects each person in a different way. People can experience different symptoms of varying severities during an attack.
The type of symptoms depends on the location of the damage. Symptoms commonly include:
Having one or more of these symptoms does not necessarily mean that you have MS, but you should see a doctor if you suspect that your symptoms might be related to MS.
Our pharmacists are happy to answer your questions. Get in touch by text, live chat, phone or email. We're standing by 7 days a week.
If your doctor suspects MS, you will be referred to a neurologist for various tests. Neurological tests examine reflexes, eye movements, strength, sensation, and coordination. Your medical and family histories will also play an important role in the diagnosis.
Further tests might include:
To confirm a diagnosis of MS, a person must have signs of disease in different parts of the nervous system and at least two separate flare-ups. However, if a person has suffered only a single attack of symptoms that could be MS, an MRI may be done to evaluate the chance of this progressing to MS. Early treatment of a single flare-up may prevent or delay further relapses.
Your medication is delivered directly to you at no added cost. We even offer same-day delivery in select locations.
Although no cure exists for MS, treatment aims to reduce the number of relapses or attacks, and to lessen their severity when they do occur. To accomplish this, medications are given by injection. High doses of steroids (given either intravenously or orally) are used to treat relapses.
Disease-modifying medications* such as Teriflunomide, Fingolimod, Glatiramer, interferon beta-1a, interferon beta-1b peginterferon beta 1a, alemtuzumab, Daclizumab, and Natalizumab are used to reduce disease activity and progression.
A variety of other medications and lifestyle interventions may be used to help manage symptoms such as bladder or bowel problems, tiredness, pain, depression, anxiety, muscle spasms, sexual dysfunction, vision problems, difficulty walking, and stress, but these have no effect on the actual disease. Rehabilitation programs, including physical and occupational therapy, are an important part of helping people live with MS.
Other ways to reduce the burden of symptoms include:
Research currently focuses on medications to counter the specific immune antibodies that attack myelin, on growth factors that can help replace myelin between attacks, and on experimental techniques such as bone marrow transplant and surgical procedures.
*All medications have both common (generic) and brand names. The brand name is what a specific manufacturer calls the product (e.g., Tylenol®). The common name is the medical name for the medication (e.g., Acetaminophen). A medication may have many brand names, but only one common name. This article lists medications by their common names. For information on a given medication, check our Drug Information database. For more information on brand names, speak with your doctor or pharmacist.
Your privacy is important. That's why we send your medication inside a plain delivery box so no one will know what's inside.
