DMTs outside the UK
Our disease modifying therapy (DMT) information covers the UK (England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales). This page tells you what's available on the Channel Islands and the Isle of Man. There's also a link that takes you to MS organisations in all other nations. They can tell you what's available in their own country.
Use these links to find out about what DMTs are available locally.
Outside the UK, Channel Islands and Isle of Man
What's available to treat MS outside the UK (including the Channel Islands and Isle of Man) is different depending where you live. The best way to find out what's in your country is to visit the Multiple Sclerosis International Foundation (MSIF) to find your local MS organisation.
