Hi Anon... You make a good point. All medications (including the current drugs available) have some type of side effects - some serious and some mild. To me the real question is does the benefit outweigh the potential risks or side effects? I think that time will be the answer to that question.
There are several new pill formats on the horizon other than oral Cladribine. Hopefully, one of them will be the "home run" - that is, effective, safe and with few or limited side effects which are mild to nil. If not, then at least the basis of the research will still be there and perhaps the next round will produce good results for all of us.
