Disease-modifying therapies (DMTs) can be an important part of managing multiple sclerosis (MS). They can prevent flare-ups and delay or prevent the progression of MS to more advanced types.
There are several types of DMTs, such as oral medications, IVs, and injections. Learn more about their side effects and which may be best for you.

taken a few times per year
The frequency depends on the type of DMT and its actions in your body.
