Einleitung

In den vergangenen beiden Jahrzehnten wurden zahlreiche Medikamente für die Behandlung der schubförmigen Multiplen Sklerose (MS) [1] entwickelt. Erschien in den 1950er- bis 1970er-Jahren nur eine Schubbehandlung mit Kortikosteroiden sinnvoll, so verfügen wir heutzutage über eine Reihe von immunmodulatorisch/-suppressiv wirksamen Substanzen. Überwiegend sind diese für die schubförmig verlaufende MS (RRMS) zugelassen.
