WHAT PHARMACOR
DIMETHYL FUMARATE IS
USED FOR
Pharmacor Dimethyl Fumarate
is used to treat relapsing
multiple sclerosis (MS).
Pharmacor Dimethyl Fumarate
slows down the progression of
physical disability in people
with relapsing forms of MS
and decreases the number of
flare ups (relapses).
Some people feel better when
they start to take Pharmacor
Dimethyl Fumarate. However
Pharmacor Dimethyl Fumarate
cannot repair damage that has
already been caused by MS.
When you start Pharmacor
Dimethyl Fumarate you might
not notice an improvement, but
Pharmacor Dimethyl Fumarate
may still be working to help
prevent your MS from
becoming worse.
The cause of MS is not yet
known, MS affects the brain
and spinal cord. In MS, the
body's immune system reacts
against its own myelin (the
'insulation' surrounding nerve
fibres).In relapsing forms of
MS, people have
'exacerbations' from time to
time (e.g. blurred vision,
weakness in the legs or arms,
or loss of control of bowel or
bladder function).
They are followed by periods
of recovery.
Recovery may be complete or
incomplete. If it is incomplete
there is 'progression of
disability'.
Pharmacor Dimethyl Fumarate
contains the active ingredient
dimethyl fumarate
