Gilenya
Named-patient access overview. Gilenya is coordinated by Reserve Meds for international patients via physician-led cross-border sourcing.
Quick orientation
Gilenya (fingolimod) is an oral sphingosine 1-phosphate receptor modulator from Novartis, first approved by the US Food and Drug Administration in September 2010 and expanded to paediatric use in 2018. It is indicated for the treatment of relapsing forms of multiple sclerosis, including clinically isolated syndrome, relapsing-remitting disease, and active secondary progressive disease, in adults and paediatric patients 10 years and older. Dosing is one 0.5 mg capsule taken orally once daily (0.25 mg for paediatric patients at or below 40 kg), with the first dose administered under cardiac monitoring per the US prescribing information. Treatment is initiated and managed by a neurologist with multiple sclerosis expertise.
