The above asked question is from Biopharmaceuticals in section Biopharmaceuticals of Drug Biotechnology

Answer 1

Right option is (b) Prevent damage to BBB

The explanation: There is no cure for multiple sclerosis. The treatment is focussed on the relief of symptoms and slower progression of the disease. The patient response to the disease and treatment will differ from patient to patient. Treatment is focussed around to decrease the damage of the blood-brain barrier.
