Abstract
BACKGROUND: Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a disease involving demyelination of the central nervous system. Medication management in MS is a vital step in preventing further disease progression. OBJECTIVE: This article presents healthcare providers with an aide-mémoire in the form of a mnemonic to assist in the medication management of MS. METHODS: We explored recent guidelines, systematic reviews, and randomized controlled trials using PubMed, MEDLINE, and CINAHL to analyze the role and efficacy of pharmacotherapy in relapse prevention of MS. CONCLUSION: It is crucial to consider the classifications of MS and its pathophysiology to determine which medication produces the best results. Our proposed mnemonic can support a clinician's recall ability and assist in identifying the respective MS medication.
