- Introduction: The most appropriate use, type, and timing of contraception in people with multiple sclerosis (PwMS) is poorly understood, and specific guidance is absent.Aims and Objectives: To provide insight into potential clinical guidelines for the use of contraception by PwMS through development of recommendations by a consensus-based program led by international clinical experts.Methods: A multidisciplinary steering committee (SC) of 13 international expert healthcare professionals (HCPs) identified 15 key clinical questions on the use of contraception in PwMS, which addressed issues relating to patient-centred care, selection of contraception for PwMS, and time needed to use contraception since the last dose of disease modifying therapies (DMTs). Twenty-five clinical recommendations addressing the questions were drafted using evidence obtained from a comprehensive systematic literature review combined with expert opinion from the SC. An extended faculty of 32 HCPs from 18 countries including a patient association representative, and the SC members (n=12), voted on the recommendations. Consensus on recommendations was achieved when ⩾75% of respondents expressed an agreement score of 7–9, on a 9-point scale.Results: Overall, consensus was achieved on 24 out of 25 clinical recommendations. In detail, consensus in the range of 90–100% was achieved on 11 recommendations, 12 recommendations achieved 80–89% consensus, and 1 recommendation achieved 75–79% consensus (n=44). The strength of recommendations ranged from 7–9. The one statement failing to achieve consensus scored 74.1%. Clinical recommendations are provided on the process of prescribing contraception for PwMS, including the recommended types of HCPs involved and optimal topics to discuss; the range of contraceptive options and the key considerations involved in selecting an appropriate method of contraception; and the timing of starting and stopping contraception in relation to the use of DMTs.Conclusions: These expert recommendations were based on a robust consensus approach, providing timely and practical guidance on the use of contraception for HCPs treating PwMS and will form the basis of further publications and clinical tools.
