Abstract

Progress in multiple sclerosis (MS) treatment now includes several approved first- and second-line therapies with others likely in the near future. Among new therapies, oral drugs represent important advances because they are easy to use; nevertheless, there are some associated side effects, which should be considered, to avoid potential complications. Dimethyl fumarate (DMF), an oral drug, modulates specific cells in the immune cascade and is cytoprotective for neurons and astrocytes.1 Its use is associated with some side effects, including gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms.2 These symptoms are mostly nonspecific and do not typically require additional routine examinations
