A new drug is the "most effective" treatment for relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis, say UK researchers.

During MS the body's immune system turns on its own nerves causing debilitating muscle problems.

Researchers at the University of Cambridge say a cancer drug, which wipes out and resets the immune system, has better results than other options.

However, there is concern that a drugs company is about to increase the cost of the drug as a result.
