Diroximel fumarate is appropriate for the treatment of relapsing multiple sclerosis. It can also help with clinically isolated syndrome, relapsing-remitting disease, and secondary progressive disease. Blood tests are necessary before treatment with this medicine. Doctors will need to know if the patient has infections, kidney issues, liver issues, or a low white blood cell count. When taking this drug, patients must swallow the capsule whole. They should never crush or open it. Some individuals may want to take this medication with food. In this case, it is best to take it with a meal that has no more than seven hundred calories. In addition, the meal should not contain more than thirty grams of fat. 

Indigestion, diarrhea, skin rashes, nausea, vomiting, flushing, and stomach pain are common side effects of diroximel fumarate. Patients should avoid meals that are high in calories or fat to reduce these side effects. In rare cases, this medicine can cause a dangerous infection in the brain. Patients should contact their doctor right away if they develop problems with thinking, movement, speech, or vision. These problems could worsen very rapidly.
