A large selection of disease-modifying therapies (DMTs) are currently available in the MS market with a sizable range of attributes, potencies, and safety profiles. Consequently, this set of DMTs typically can yield some relief from this chronic condition. 

Utilization of first-generation DMTs such as Avonex, Betaseron, Copaxone, and Rebif is declining due to their comparatively poor safety, efficacy, and administration profiles versus newer DMTs. Most are genericized, but still see some use in the first-line treatment setting, particularly for less severe cases of MS and especially where payer pressure is involved.
