Tecfidera

Tecfidera (dimethyl fumarate) is a medication commonly used to treat multiple sclerosis (MS), a disease that affects the nervous system. It works by reducing inflammation and protecting nerve cells from damage, which can help slow the progression of MS and reduce the frequency of relapses or flare-ups. Tecfidera is taken orally, usually as a capsule twice daily. Common side effects may include flushing, stomach discomfort, or changes in blood cell counts. It is important to have regular medical monitoring while on Tecfidera to manage potential side effects and ensure its effectiveness.
