ANS: C
Drug therapy can reduce the frequency and severity of relapses, maintain quality of life, and prevent permanent damage to axons, but it does not produce permanent remission. Patients may need to take additional drugs during times of relapse and will need to take medications indefinitely. Some symptoms may be managed with symptom-specific drugs.
