Teriflunomide (aubagio) inhibiting pyrimidine synthesis -> decreases proliferation of T and Bcells in periphery RRMS elevated LFTs Alopecia Diarrhea BBW: sever liver dz Preg X prescreen lab: LFTs, CBC, TB monitor LFTs monthly for 6 then every 6 slowly eliminated from plasma (8months - 2yrs)
Interferon Beta 1a (avonex) Not sure-> Think: decrease TCell proliferation, decrease antigen prentation, andalter cytokine release which reduces the number of cells that cross through the BBB RRMS CIS Flu-like sx depression -> ceases within months injection site reactions elevated LFTs Hypothyroidism Not immune suppressing Monitor : CBC, LFT, TSH
