Which medication requires monitoring for at least 6 hours after the first dose due to a risk of slow heart rate?

  1. Ozanimod

  2. Fingolimod

  3. Ponesimod

  4. Siponimod

The correct answer is: Fingolimod

This question is asking about which medication requires monitoring for at least 6 hours due to a risk of slow heart rate. Therefore, options A, C, and D are incorrect because they do not have this specific risk. Option B, Fingolimod, is the correct answer because it is known to cause bradycardia, or a slower than normal heart rate, which can be dangerous. This medication requires close monitoring for at least 6 hours after the first dose to ensure the patient's heart rate does not drop too low. Therefore, it is important to monitor patients closely after the first dose.
