DMTs can be broadly classified into several categories based on their mechanism of action:
Immunomodulators: These agents modify the immune response, reducing the frequency of attacks. Examples include Interferons and Glatiramer Acetate. Immunosuppressants: These drugs suppress the immune system more broadly. Examples include Azathioprine and Methotrexate. Monoclonal Antibodies: These are targeted therapies designed to bind specific proteins or cells involved in the disease process. Examples include Ocrelizumab and Natalizumab. Oral Therapies: These are easier to administer and include drugs like Fingolimod and Dimethyl Fumarate.
