There are many medications for MS.
First line are injectables of interferons. Avonex, Rebif, Betaseron, and then a non interferon called Copaxone.
IV drugs are not first line, but are Novatrone, Rixutan, Tysabri.
Flairs are treated with IV solumedrol, or Methotrexate.
There are several new oral therapies on the horizen. One if fingolomoid. it is in phase III now.
did you have a specific drug you were seeking?
The national MS society has a nice web site. NMSS.org if you like.
