Sinopse

Send us a message about the podcast. For questions about MS please contact our helpline 0800 032 38 39Disease modifying drugs (DMDs) are a group of treatments for people with multiple sclerosis. Most DMDs are for people with relapsing remitting MS (RRMS), but there are some that are licenced for use by people with progressive MS. For people with RRMS, disease modifying drugs reduce the number of relapses you might experience as well as reducing the severity of any relapses you do have.There are a wide range of drugs approved for use by the NHS in the UK. Each drug offers a different combination of benefits and possible risks.In this podcast we are going to be chatting to neurologist Kate who is going to explain the ins and outs of DMDs and how you can go about choosing one. Then we will be talking to Sam, who shares her personal journey of choosing DMDs.Episode notes:- Disease modifying drugs - MS Trust A-Z: mstrust.org.uk/about-ms/ms-treatments/disease-modifying-drugs-dmds- Frequently asked questions about D
