Reveal the answer and explanation

Correct answer: DRestart with day 1 of the 14-day titration pack rather than resuming 20 mg

Explanation lettering: C = shown as A · D = shown as B · E = shown as C · A = shown as D · B = shown as E

A is correct: four or more consecutive missed ponesimod doses require re-initiation at day 1 of the titration regimen because heart-rate effects recur; monitoring requirements are then reassessed from the patient’s cardiac risk. B bypasses titration. C is an unsafe loading strategy. D is an invented abbreviated schedule. E confuses a restart precaution with a permanent contraindication.
