What Is Tecfidera?

Tecfidera (dimethyl fumarate) is a prescription-based medication used to treat relapsing forms of multiple sclerosis (MS). MS is a chronic disorder that affects a person’s central nervous system and causes inflammation.

Tecfidera belongs to the class of drugs known as fumaric acid esters and is available as a capsule or tablet. The drug is administered orally, either twice daily with food or as a single dose with food.

Tecfidera can help reduce the relapse rate of MS and its associated symptoms, such as muscle weakness and impaired coordination. It can also help reduce the severity of flares in Crohn’s disease.

However, the following patients are advised not to take this drug:

Pregnant women
Breastfeeding mothers
Patients with a history of liver disease or progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy

It is also important to note that Tecfidera can cause side effects such as flushing and gastrointestinal upset. It is crucial to consult a doctor before starting this therapy to ensure its safety and effectiveness. Therapy should also be closely monitored.

What Is Tecfidera Used To Treat?

It can cause various symptoms, such as:

Tecfidera works by decreasing inflammation in the body and reducing the symptoms of MS.
