ALCOHOL INHIBITS THE METABOLISM OF DIMETHYL FUMARATE TO THE ACTIVE METABOLITE RESPONSIBLE FOR DECREASING RELAPSE FREQUENCY IN THE TREATMENT OF MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS.

Alcohol inhibits the metabolism of dimethyl fumarate to the active metabolite responsible for decreasing relapse frequency in the treatment of multiple sclerosis.

Dimethyl fumarate (DMF) is a first-line prodrug for the treatment of relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS) that is completely metabolized to monomethyl fumarate (MMF), the active metabolite, before reaching the systemic circulation.Its metabolism has been proposed to be due to ubiquitous esterases in the intestines and other tissues, but th
