Overview

This review is concerned with individualized treatment of relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis. It is important to continuously monitor the clinical course and MRI in order to further predict prognosis and to select the optimal therapy. Pharmacogenetics focus on determining biomarkers so that early non-responders as well as possible adverse effects can be detected. The principles of pharmacovigilance are essential for good clinical practice. Personalized approach to treatment may enable identification of the most suitable treatments that improve health-related quality of life and pharmacoeconomic impact indicators.

Key words:
multiple sclerosis – personalized medicine – pharmacogenetics

The authors declare they have no potential conflicts of interest concerning drugs, products, or services used in the study.

The Editorial Board declares that the manuscript met the ICMJE “uniform requirements” for biomedical papers.
