Terms & Conditions of Program
A generic drug is a copy of the brand-name drug with the same dosage, safety, strength, quality, consumption method, performance, and intended use. Before generics become available on the market, the generic company must prove it has the same active ingredients as the brand-name drug and works in the same way and in the same amount of time in the body.
The only differences between generics and their brand-name counterparts is that generics are less expensive and may look slightly different (eg. different shape or color), as trademarks laws prevent a generic from looking exactly like the brand-name drug.
Generics are less expensive because generic manufacturers don't have to invest large sums of money to develop a drug. When the brand-name patent expires, generic companies can manufacture a copy of the brand-name and sell it at a substantial discount.
Ponvory is a sphingosine-1-phosphate receptor modulator that helps manage multiple sclerosis (MS). This oral medication helps regulate the immune system and reduce inflammation by influencing certain types of white blood cells. Classified within a newer category of disease-modifying therapies, Ponvory offers a treatment option for adults with relapsing forms of MS, which include clinically isolated syndrome, relapsing-remitting MS, and active secondary progressive disease. It may help decrease the frequency of relapse episodes and slow down the progression of physical disability associated with MS.
Ponvory is typically started at a 2 mg dose on their first day, which is then gradually increased until they reach the standard daily dose of 20 mg by day 15. The pill should be taken at the same time each day, with or without food. If a dose is missed, consult the medication guide for instructions or contact a healthcare provider. Inform a healthcare provider of any new or worsening symptoms, such as dizziness or shortness of breath, which could indicate side effects like a slow heart rate.
Ponvory contains the active ingredient Ponesimod. Alongside the active substance, the tablet contains several inactive ingredients: croscarmellose sodium, lactose monohydrate, magnesium stearate, microcrystalline cellulose, povidone K30, silica colloidal anhydrous, and sodium lauryl sulfate.
Patients should not start Ponvory therapy if any of the following conditions are present:
Like other medications, Ponvory may cause side effects. The most common Ponvory side effects include upper respiratory tract infections, abnormal liver tests indicating elevated liver enzymes, and high blood pressure.
Ponvory carries a risk of serious infections due to its effects on white blood cell counts, which can be life-threatening. Symptoms to watch for are fever, body aches, chills, nausea, vomiting, and signs of meningitis like headache with fever and neck stiffness. Treatment may be adjusted if an infection occurs. Additionally, Ponvory can cause a slow heart rate, especially after the first dose. Signs of this include dizziness, lightheadedness, and chest pain. Patients are advised to have heart function tests before starting and to seek immediate medical attention for any serious symptoms.
