Pregunta 7
Pregunta
Drag and drop the correct drug to the descriptions given.
-[blank_start]Baclofen (Lioresal)[blank_end]: Given to reduce spasticity.
-[blank_start]Glatiramer acetate (Copaxone)[blank_end]: Blocks immune system's attack on myelin.
-[blank_start]Dimethyl fumarate (Tecfidera)[blank_end]: Inhibits immune cells and has antioxidant properties that protect nerves from damage.
-[blank_start]Beta interferons[blank_end]: Reduce the number of inflammatory cells that cross the blood-brain barrier, which leads to a reduction of neuronal inflammation. These drugs may slow the progression of disease and decrease severity of attacks.
-[blank_start]Teriflunomide (Aubagio)[blank_end]: A pyrimidine synthesis inhibitor that inhibits function of lymphocytes.
-[blank_start]Natalizumab (Tysabri)[blank_end]: Interferes with movement of immune cells across the blood-brain barrier. Used only when patients cannot tolerate any other treatments.
-[blank_start]Mitoxantrone (Novantrone)[blank_end]: An immunosuppressor that is only used to treat advanced MS.
-[blank_start]Fingolimod (Gilenya)[blank_end]: Traps immune cells in the lymph nodes, which makes them unable to access the CNS.
