Gilenya (Fingolimod) is an immunosuppressant. It works by keeping immune cells trapped in your lymph nodes so they can’t reach the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord).
Gilenya is used to treat relapsing multiple sclerosis (MS) in adults, and children and adolescents aged 10 years and older.
Gilenya will not cure MS, it will only decrease the frequency of relapse symptoms.
The brand name is commonly Tascenso ODT among others.
In adults and pediatric patients 10 years of age and older weighing more than 40 kg, the recommended dosage of GILENYA is 0.5 mg orally once-daily.
In pediatric patients 10 years of age and older weighing less than or equal to 40 kg, the recommended dosage of GILENYA is 0.25 mg orally once daily.
Fingolimod doses higher than 0.5 mg are associated with a greater incidence of adverse reactions without additional benefit.
Common side effects of Gilenya include: infection, back pain, diarrhea, increased serum alanine aminotransferase, increased serum aspartate aminotransferase, and increased liver enzymes. Other side effects include: blurred vision, bradycardia, bronchitis, increased gamma-glutamyl transferase, lymphocytopenia, migraine, dizziness, dyspnea, hypertension, increased serum transaminases, and tinea.

Gilenya is a sphingosine 1-phosphate receptor modulator. It works by reducing the number of certain immune cells in the body that can attack the nervous system in MS. By modulating the immune response, Gilenya helps reduce the frequency of MS relapses and slows down the progression of the disease.
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.
Yes, although rare, Gilenya can cause serious side effects, including bradycardia, atrioventricular (AV) block, macular edema, and infections. It’s important to seek immediate medical attention if you experience symptoms such as dizziness, chest pain, vision changes, or signs of infection while taking Gilenya.
