Ponesimod, sold under the brand name Ponvory, is a medication used to treat multiple sclerosis (MS).[3] Specifically it is used for the relapsing forms including clinically isolated syndrome, relapsing-remitting disease, and secondary progressive disease.[7][3] It is taken by mouth.[3]

Common side effects include upper respiratory tract infection, liver inflammation, and high blood pressure.[3] Other side effects may include infection, slow heart rate, breathing problems, and skin cancer.[3] Use during pregnancy may harm the baby.[3] It is a [[sphingosine 1-phosphate receptor modulator which decreases the activity of T and B cells.[3][7]

Ponesimod was approved for medical use in the United States and Europe in 2021.[3][7] In the United Kingdom 4 weeks of treatment costs the NHS about £1100 as of 2022.[8] In the United States this amount costs about 7,900 USD.[9]
