Patient's question:
For the past few months, I've been experiencing frequent dizziness and vertigo, my vision has worsened, my legs feel weak, and I have difficulty walking smoothly, often stumbling easily. Later, I went to a hospital in town for a thorough examination, and the results showed multiple sclerosis. The doctor also prescribed medication for my friend, but after taking it for some time, the symptoms haven't stabilized much.Where are some good oral medications for multiple sclerosis?
Doctor's answer:
Hormones are the most common and important type of medication. When taking them, it is essential to gradually increase the dosage according to medical advice until the medication is discontinued. It is not advisable to enhance or increase the dosage arbitrarily. Common side effects of hormone medication include obesity, high blood pressure, requiring long-term control, osteoporosis, and stomach and duodenal ulcers. Patients should pay close attention and carefully monitor their blood pressure, stool color, and any discomfort in the stomach. If any abnormalities are observed, it is important to seek medical attention promptly.
