A commonly used cholesterol-lowering medication is showing promise as a new therapy for patients
who have lived with multiple sclerosis for a while. I'm Erin White for the dailyRx News
Network.
The most common form of multiple sclerosis or MS is relapsing-remitting MS, in which
the disease flares but then abates for a while. For people past the early stage--those with
secondary progressive MS--there is no known treatment. Now researchers have found that
simvastatin, a statin medication, may be a therapy to use as the disease progresses.
If you have MS, consult a doctor about new treatments appropriate for you. Visit dailyRx.com
