A wide range of medications are available to help manage MS, including disease-modifying therapies (DMTs) that slow progression and reduce relapses, as well as treatments for flare-ups and specific symptoms. DMTs may be taken as injections, infusions, or oral medications, and doctors may adjust them over time based on effectiveness and side effects. Additional medications can help address complications such as muscle stiffness, fatigue, depression, bladder or bowel issues, pain, and sexual dysfunction. Because MS affects everyone differently, treatment plans are individualized and often combine medication with supportive therapies to improve quality of life and long-term outcomes.
