This is a bonus from the archives episode of Living Well with MS.

Navigating the range of medication choices for people with MS can be challenging. There are so many factors to consider – from effectiveness to side-effects – so we are fortunate to have Dr. Aaron Boster, an Ohio-based neurologist specializing in MS, as this episode’s guest on Living Well with MS to help demystify the myriad Disease Modifying Drugs that are presently available to manage MS.

09:53 Making the right choice when deciding to start a new medication 

17:42 Medium and high efficacy drugs 

30:06 Do the most effective medications always have the most side-effects?
