What is Extavia?

Extavia is an FDA (U.S. Food and Drug Administration) approved medication manufactured by Novartis Pharmaceuticals.

Extavia is used to treat relapsing forms of multiple sclerosis, to reduce the frequency of clinical exacerbations. Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an autoimmune disease in which the body’s immune system attacks its own central nervous system. Patients with multiple sclerosis in whom efficacy has been demonstrated include patients who have had a first clinical episode and have MRI features consistent with multiple sclerosis.

Extavia can also be used to treat people with another type of MS known as SPMS (secondary progressive MS) who are still having relapses. In people with SPMS, the medication can reduce the frequency of relapses and reduce brain lesions seen on MRI scans.

What doses of Extavia are available?

Extavia is available in injection form, in the following doses: 0.3 mg of lyophilized powder in a single-use vial for reconstitution.
