Gamifant and Gilenya

• Generic Name: emapalumab
• Dosage Forms: injection
• Other Brand Names: Gamifant

Gamifant is used together with a medicine called dexamethasone to treat hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH), a rare disease that is sometimes inherited. HLH causes your immune system to attack healthy blood cells, which can lead to serious or life-threatening side effects on your spleen or liver. This medicine is for use in adults and children as young as newborn.

Gamifant is given after other treatments did not work or have stopped working.

Gamifant may also be used for purposes not listed in this medication guide.

• Generic Name: fingolimod
• Dosage Forms: capsule
• Other Brand Names: Gilenya

Gilenya (fingolimod) is an immunosuppressant. It works by keeping immune cells trapped in your lymph nodes so they can't reach the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord).

Gilenya is used to treat relapsing multiple sclerosis (MS) in adults, and children and adolescents aged 10 years and older.

Gilenya will not cure MS, it will only decrease the frequency of relapse symptoms.
