If you have MS, this drug is around $20 for a prescription.

See if your doctor can help you with this. It looks like it can reverse some damage.

Clemastine is an OTC drug, and is available under many names and dosage forms worldwide. Most common brand name is Tavegyl.[9] ( Wikipedia )

Is this Prescription or OTC? I’m confused.

Side effect is fatigue. Most likely the anti inflammatory sedates.

I’m going to pull all the related articles and research for review.

Clemastine is available in multiple generic forms as tablets and syrup, many of which are available without prescription. Common brand names include Tavist Allergy and Dayhist Allergy.

Clemastine is an antihistamine used to relieve symptoms of allergy, hay fever, and the common cold. These symptoms include rash, watery eyes, itchy eyes/nose/throat/skin, cough, runny nose, and sneezing.

This medication works by blocking a certain natural substance (histamine) that your body makes during an allergic reaction. By blocking another natural substance made by your body (acetylcholine), it helps dry up some body fluids to relieve symptoms such as watery eyes and runny nose.

Tavist-D is a combination of clemastine (antihistamine) and phenylpropanolamine (decongestant). Preparations containing phenylpropanolamine were withdrawn from the market some years ago because of the increased risk of hemorrhagic stroke.

Actually, the drug is available over the counter under the name Tavist. More broadly, the drug may help with neuropathy, including the pain it commonly causes. And as research illuminates the biochemical mechanisms, better drugs and wider use seem likely.
