Abstract
Siponimod is a sphingosine 1-phosphate receptor (S1P) modulator used to treat secondary progressive multiple sclerosis (SPMS). We report 3 SPMS patients treated with siponimod who developed new or worsening peripheral oedema soon after commencing treatment. In one case, peripheral oedema resulted in immobility. Siponimod-related peripheral oedema deserves wider recognition due to the potential for morbidity and over-investigation. Clinicians should assess for pre-existing oedema and coexisting conditions that may predispose to developing peripheral oedema prior to commencing siponimod.
