Non-approved (off-label) treatments used for MS disease modification
« on: June 19, 2017, 08:51:45 pm »
Cellcept (mycophonolate mofetil), Cladribine, Cytoxan (cyclophosphamide), Imuran (Azothioprine), Minocycline, Rituxan (rituximab), and statins are drugs that are prescribed off-label for MS.

The National MS Society lists them, with brief descriptions, and this list seems important enough to become a "sticky" thread, always near the top of the page:

"Non-approved treatments used for MS disease modification".
