Tecfidera 240 mg ( Dimethyl Fumarate ) 56 gastro-resistant hard capsules

Read the Patient Information Leaflet if available from your pharmacist before you start taking dimethyl fumarate and each time you get a refill. If you have any questions, ask your doctor or pharmacist.

Take this medication by mouth with or without food as directed by your doctor, usually twice daily. Your doctor should usually direct you to start this medication at a low dose for the first 7 days of treatment and to increase your dose after 7 days. Follow your doctor’s instructions carefully. If flushing occurs, taking this medication with food may reduce this side effect. Taking a plain (non-enteric coated) aspirin 30 minutes before taking this medication may also help prevent flushing. Ask your doctor if this treatment is right for you.

Swallow the capsules whole. Do not open, crush, or chew the capsules. Doing so can release all of the drug at once, increasing the risk of side effects.

Take this medication regularly to get the most benefit from it. To help you remember, take it at the same times each day.

Tell your doctor if your condition worsens.
