The Difference Between Dimethyl Fumarate (Tecfidera) and Teriflunomide

Dimethyl fumarate (Tecfidera) and Teriflunomide (Teriflunomide) are two different drugs with different mechanisms of action and effects. Dimethyl fumarate is used to treat multiple sclerosis (MS). It can play an antioxidant and immunomodulatory role, and can reduce inflammatory responses and autoimmune pathological processes. However, the exact mechanism of action is not fully understood, but it is believed to reduce inflammatory responses and regulate the immune system by increasing intracellular antioxidant levels. TeriflunomideIt is also used to treat multiple sclerosis. It reduces the symptoms and disease progression of multiple sclerosis by inhibiting the activity of immune cells and regulating inflammatory responses. It inhibits dihydroxyacetyl dehydrogenase (DHODH) and blocks DNA synthesis, thereby reducing the activity of immune cells.
