Dimethyl fumarate (DMF) is an oral medication that has shown promise in treating relapsing multiple sclerosis (MS). In recent years, DMF has been the subject of numerous studies, and the results have been encouraging.
One of the most significant benefits of DMF is its ability to reduce disease activity. In clinical trials, DMF has been shown to reduce the number of relapses and slow the progression of disability. This is a major improvement over existing treatments for MS, which are often only able to slow the progression of the disease.
DMF is also well-tolerated, with few side effects. The most common side effects include flushing, gastrointestinal upset, and fatigue. These side effects are usually mild and do not require discontinuation of treatment.
DMF is a promising new treatment for relapsing MS. It has been shown to be effective in reducing disease activity and slowing the progression of disability. DMF is also well-tolerated, with few side effects. This makes it a valuable option for patients with MS.
