DIROXIMEL FUMARATE · ZYDUS
Diroximel fumarate is indicated for the treatment of relapsing forms of multiple sclerosis in adult patients. The medication is used to manage clinically isolated syndrome, relapsing-remitting disease, and active secondary progressive disease. It provides a therapeutic approach for adults experiencing these specific stages of the condition.
How DIROXIMEL FUMARATE Works
The exact mechanism by which diroximel fumarate exerts its therapeutic effect in multiple sclerosis is unknown. The drug's active metabolite, monomethyl fumarate (MMF), activates the nuclear factor (erythroid-derived 2)-like 2 (Nrf2) pathway, which is involved in the cellular response to oxidative stress. Additionally, MMF has been identified as a nicotinic acid receptor agonist.
