Treat relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (MS)

Dimethyl Fumarate is thought to work by activating a pathway called the Nrf2 pathway, which helps to protect cells from oxidative stress and inflammation. It can reduce inflammation in the central nervous system, which is a key factor in the progression of Multiple sclerosis (MS).

Take the Sclerogem DR 240mg Capsule as advised by your physician. Do not crush, chew, or open the medicine. Your physician will decide the correct dosage and duration based on age, body weight, and disease condition. Only stop taking the capsule if your doctor advises you to stop.
