What is Tecfidera?

Tecfidera is a prescription medicine used to treat relapsing forms of multiple sclerosis (MS) in adults. It is prescribed to ease the symptoms and slow the progression of:

1. Clinically isolated syndrome (CIS)
2. Relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS)
3. Secondary-progressive multiple sclerosis (SPMS)

If you have a form of relapsing MS, your doctor may have prescribed Tecfidera to you. It is a medication you take every day as a capsule you swallow. It helps to limit the damage caused by your condition by reducing how much inflammation your immune system can trigger.

Tecfidera active ingredients

The active ingredient in Tecfidera is called dimethyl fumarate. It helps to protect your nerves from damage by reducing how much inflammation your immune system can trigger.

It is not known exactly how dimethyl fumarate does this, but it is thought it works by altering the type of white blood cells your immune system produces, to a form that causes less inflammation.
