Overview

Fingolimod Accord is a type of medicine known as a ‘disease-modifying therapy’ that is used to treat adults and children over 10 years of age with highly active relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS). ‘Relapsing-remitting’ means that the patient has flare-ups of symptoms (relapses) followed by periods with milder or no symptoms (remissions). Fingolimod Accord is used when the disease remains active despite appropriate treatment with at least one other disease-modifying therapy, or is severe and getting worse rapidly.

Fingolimod Accord is a ‘generic medicine’. This means that Fingolimod Accord contains the same active substance and works in the same way as a ‘reference medicine’ already authorised in the EU called Gilenya. 

Fingolimod Accord contains the active substance fingolimod.
