MS drug 'may already be out there'

Depression and heart-disease drugs are to be tested in a trial to find treatments for Multiple Sclerosis (MS) from existing medicines.

There are currently no treatments in the secondary progressive stage of the debilitating disease.

More than 400 people will take part in the trial at University College London and the University of Edinburgh.

The BBC's Health Editor Hugh Pym reports.
