Drug treatment for multiple sclerosis

The human nerve tissue is protected from damage by a special myelin sheath. Multiple sclerosis weakens the body, damaging the sheath of nerve fibers. As a consequence, there is a violation of the conduct of nerve impulses, there is a failure of the body as a whole. This disease is characterized by unstable leaps and bounds: exacerbations and remissions follow each other. At each stage of the disease, prescriptions are given for multiple sclerosis.

What medications are prescribed?

Clinical picture of the disease:

• is affected by skin sensitivity;
• there are muscle cramps, convulsive seizures;
• is impaired muscle contraction;
• decreases visual acuity;
• disturbs the sensitivity of the genitals( frigidity, impotence);
• depressive state of mind is replaced by euphoria;
• full disability.

It's important to know! Sufficient immunity, the level of vitamins, microelements with good health is a reliable protection against multiple sclerosis!

Treatment of this disease is a long process, requiring patient patience and persistence. It should be noted that the drugs are used throughout the course of treatment, and not only at critical moments of the disease. The drugs are classified into the following:

• relieving exacerbations;
• preventive means;
• relieving symptoms of the disease.

Varieties of medicines

Intravenous application of Solomedrol in multiple sclerosis effectively removes an attack, restores the functions of the body, reduces the time of exacerbations. An exception is progressive sclerosis.

Strong action and side effects are noted( there may be mood swings, weight gain, immunity to various infections decreases).In the case where the use of the drug is not sufficiently effective, the patient's condition is improved by plasmapheresis( the blood cells are separated from the plasma).

It's important to know! Drugs for the treatment of multiple sclerosis are prescribed only by a doctor. They can not be used on their own;Harmful side effects are found!

Preventive drugs change and slow down the disease: protect the myelin sheath of neurons( Copaxon), protect the central nervous system from damage to immune cells. Typical side effects: increased blood pressure, for a while, reduced visual acuity, liver damage.

Preparations of the third group improve the health of patients, eliminate the manifestation of the disease. It is justified to use vitamins( in particular group B), muscle relaxants, tonic, anesthetics, nonsteroidal, anti-inflammatory, antidepressants( Baclofen, Oxibutinin, etc.).

Application of Lecithin and Amiksin

The main component of the protective cell membranes of the nerve cells of the human body is lecithin. Nervous tissues of the brain, the spine, are 60 percent composed of lecithin. In patients diagnosed with multiple sclerosis, the myelin sheath is thinned, the work of the nervous system is disrupted, irritability, chronic fatigue, nervous breakdowns appear.

It's important to know! In the application of lecithin for the treatment of multiple sclerosis, no side effects were noted.

Amiksin is an artificial preparation that is also used to treat multiple sclerosis. The action of this drug is characterized by a decrease in the cellular hypersensitivity of patients with multiple sclerosis to the main protein myelin. The performance of this drug is improved for 10 or more days after administration.

Immunoglobulins and antibiotics in the treatment of

Human immunity is designed to produce antibodies( immunoglobulins) to fight against foreign proteins, microorganisms, viruses. They act in conjunction with blood. Antibodies that are part of the drug, obtained by filtering the donor blood, serve as a substitute for their own protective proteins.

The use of immunoglobulins in multiple sclerosis is not standard treatment. The use of these drugs slows the process of the disease, facilitates the symptomatology, reduces relapse. Side effects of drugs - a headache, for the relief of which non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs are used. There may be a temperature, an allergy, malaise.

The role of antibiotics in the treatment of multiple sclerosis. American scientists have conducted research on the effects of Minocycline. The results of the experiments showed that antibiotics stop the inflammatory processes of the central nervous system. Minocycline is an inexpensive drug that is used during periods of exacerbation of the disease.
