Abstract

Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a demyelinating disease affecting the central nervous system, with no curative medicine available. It is a permanent and incurable disease, with a variety of symptoms. Medications used are known to slow down progression of MS and reduce the number of relapses. Unfortunately, they accomplish this by making the immune system disable. This is the reason that patients need to be examined for a variety of health conditions before any immunosuppressant drug. Major complication of MS medications is the variety of side effects they may cause. Herbal drugs, on the other hand, and dietary supplement use is increasing among people with MS, raising the need for knowledge about potential interactions between conventional MS medicine and herbal drugs/dietary supplements.
