Uses of the Fingya 0.5mg 28 Tablets

Fingya 0.5mg tablet is used to treat relapsing forms of multiple sclerosis (MS) in adults.

How Does Fingya Tablet Work?

Fingya works as a sphingosine 1-phosphate receptor modulator. Fingolimod is thought to help by preventing immune system cells (lymphocytes) from reaching the central nervous system, thus decreasing the frequency of relapse symptoms. It keeps immune cells trapped in the lymph nodes, thereby reducing their ability to cause inflammation in the central nervous system.

Fingya 0.5mg Tablets contain the active ingredient Fingolimod, a disease-modifying therapy (DMT) used to treat relapsing forms of multiple sclerosis (MS). It helps reduce the frequency of flare-ups and slows the progression of physical disability in patients with MS. Fingya is an oral medication and comes in a 28-tablet pack, typically taken once daily under medical supervision.

Key Uses:

• Treatment of Relapsing-Remitting Multiple Sclerosis (RRMS)
• Reduces the number of relapses or attacks
