Benefits Of Aubagio Tablet
In Relapsing Forms Of Multiple Sclerosis (MS)
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a disease of the brain and spinal cord in which a person’s own immune system attacks the protective sheath (called myelin) of the nerves. This leads to symptoms such as vision loss, pain, fatigue and improper coordination. Aubagio Tablet helps to suppress the body’s immune system, thereby preventing returning of symptoms (relapse) as well as reducing the progression of the disease. It reduces the inflammation of the damaged nerves, prevents further damage and stabilises your immune system. Follow your doctor’s instructions carefully to get the best results.
