Welcome to this site. If this is your first visit, please take a few minutes to look around. There is a lot more here besides Laquininmod.
Laquinimod

Laquinimod is an oral drug treatment. It inhibits disease progression although how it does so is not fully understood yet. At present it is at late stage trials.

After 36 weeks of treatment, it was shown that the level of inflammatory disease activity was significantly reduced. The drug seems to be well tolerated and effective.

Treatment over six months resulted in a 30% decrease in MRI activity. Those with disease activity at the start of the study showed a decrease of more than 40%. The only side-effect reported in some patients is temporary increases in liver enzymes.

Approved Use

Laquinimod is not currently approved.
