Source BBC: A new treatment for patients with multiple sclerosis has been approved by the Scottish Medicines Consortium (SMC).
Zeposia has been developed for adult patients with relapsing-remitting MS, where the patient has flare-ups followed by periods of remission.
It is a treatment option which may reduce the need to have treatment administered in a clinical setting.
It is one of four drugs which have been newly-approved.
Ozanimod – Zeposia is manufactured by the company Bristol Myer Squibb. Taken orally once a day it provides the advantage of being taken at home and avoiding clinical appointments during the coronavirus pandemic. Read on.
Family carers have been taking on more responsibilities than ever during the pandemic. They are in a unique position to see what is going on, good and bad, with the health and social care provided to the person they are caring for.
Not surprisingly, they are also more likely to provide feedback on care experiences than the rest of the population. The Care Quality Commission (CQC) would like to hear from anyone who is caring for a loved one about their experiences. Find out more here.
