Default new information on Gilenia (Fingolimod)
The FDA met on June 10 regarding the approval of Ginlenia, the first oral pill for MS. The advisory board voted 25-0 to recommend approval. The FDA usually follows this board's advice when giving the final green light. They have postponed sale of it for 3 more months until September to think about safety measures since the drug is a new entity. It looks like we may have these pills by fall.

These articles have very useful information.
