the third ORAL drug for relapsing multiple sclerosis (MS), Tecfidera (TEK-fi-de-rah, dimethyl fumarate)

You'll hear about the third ORAL drug for relapsing multiple sclerosis (MS), Tecfidera (TEK-fi-de-rah, dimethyl fumarate).

Think of it as a form of fumaric acid. It's a new therapy for MS...but has been used for years in Europe for psoriasis.

Tecfidera seems to protect neurons and myelin...and have anti-inflammatory effects.
