Cladribine can help people with the active relapsing-remitting version of the disease.

It is given in two treatment courses, 12 months apart, which would mean patients would take 20 tablets at home.

The list price is around 2,000 per tablet, but it is not clear how much the NHS is paying since it can negotiate discounts with drug companies.
