“You're invited to a Rediscover MS Educational Event to gain a deeper understanding of the evolving science of multiple sclerosis (MS). The event will be hosted by a Sanofi Patient Education Manager.”

Make it stand out

Sanofi is offering a free steakhouse dinner on Aug. 27 about “MS progression without relapses.” Keep in mind this is a pharma-sponsored marketing event — the fancy meal is part of the sales pitch. The science may be presented in a way that favors Sanofi’s drugs, so approach it with caution. No individualized medical advice will be given; only your neurologist can provide that. Our group does not endorse Sanofi or any drug company. Attend if you want the dinner, but don’t mistake this for unbiased education.

Sanofi is the maker of Aubagio and Lemtrada and working on Tolebrutinib, a non-relapsing secondary progressive MS medication.
