Gilenya is approved for the treatment of relapsing forms of MS, including relapsing-remitting MS (RRMS) and active secondary progressive MS (SPMS) in some countries. It is not indicated for primary progressive MS.

Common side effects of Gilenya may include headache, flu-like symptoms, diarrhea, back pain, cough, and elevated liver enzymes. Some patients may also experience an increase in blood pressure or a decrease in heart rate when starting the medication.
