Description of Gilenya
Gilenya is an oral medication with the generic name Fingolimod. It belongs to a group of medicines known as immunosuppressants. Gilenya is available in the form of a capsule. It is available in Gilenya 0.5mg strength. The drug is a prescription medication, and you need to consult your doctor before you buy Gilenya online.
Indications & Dosage of Gilenya
Gilenya is indicated in the treatment of relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis. The drug does not cure multiple sclerosis but only slows down the development of the physical disability caused by the disease. Gilenya also reduces the number of multiple sclerosis flares.
Fingolimod, the main active ingredient in the drug, reduces the number of circulating lymphocytes (types of WBCs). This causes a reduction in migration of WBCs in the central nervous system. In multiple sclerosis, WBCs are known to cause destruction of nerves and inflammation.
Your doctor will give you specific instructions regarding the dosage. The recommended dose of Gilenya is 0.5mg, once daily. The first dose of Gilenya is given in a clinic or hospital setting as your heart rhythm needs to be monitored. You can take the medication with or without food.
