Vumerity is indicated for the treatment of relapsing forms of multiple sclerosis (MS), to include clinically isolated syndrome, relapsing-remitting disease, and active secondary progressive disease, in adults.

Vumerity is a type of disease-modifying therapy (DMT) called a fumaric acid derivative. More specifically, Vumerity (diroximel fumarate) is a Nrf2 activator. It’s not exactly known how Vumerity helps with multiple sclerosis. But the medication is thought to turn on Nrf2 pathways in the body to help protect against damage to nerve cells and lessen inflammation.

• Starting dose: 231 mg twice a day, by mouth, for 7 days
• Maintenance dose after 7 days: 462 mg (administered as two 231 mg
