What is this medicine intended for?
Dimethyl Fumarate Taro is indicated for the treatment of adult
patients with relapsing remitting
multiple sclerosis.
Therapeutic group: Medicine that affects the nervous system.
Multiple sclerosis is a chronic disease that affects the central
nervous system, including the
brain and the spinal cord. Relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis is
characterised by repeated
attacks (relapses) of nervous system symptoms. Symptoms vary from
patient to patient, but
typically include walking difficulties, feeling off balance and visual
difficulties (e.g., blurred or
double vision). These symptoms may disappear completely when the
relapse is over, but
some problems may remain.
How Dimethyl Fumarate Taro works
Dimethyl Fumarate Taro seems to work by preventing the immune system
from damaging
your brain and spinal cord. This may also prevent future deterioration
of your disease.
