About This Medication

# MS One to One Patient Assistance Program Patient Guide: How to Get Lemtrada at Low or No Cost Lemtrada (alemtuzumab) is a prescription medication used to treat relapsing forms of multiple sclerosis (MS) in adults. The **MS One to One Patient Assistance Program**, sponsored by **Sanofi**, helps eligible patients access Lemtrada at low or no cost through financial support options like free medication or co-pay assistance.[1][2][3] ## About Lemtrada **Lemtrada** is an intravenous infusion therapy administered in two treatment courses: initial doses over five consecutive days, followed by a second course 12 months later over three consecutive days. It targets certain immune cells to reduce MS relapses, slow disability progression, and limit new brain lesions. However, it carries serious risks, including autoimmune conditions, infections, and cancers, requiring enrollment in the **LEMTRADA REMS** program for monitoring. Always discuss benefits and risks with your healthcare provider (HCP).[2][8][9] ## Who Qualifies for the Program?
