Dyfira 120 mg Capsule 14's

This is used to manage relapsing forms of multiple sclerosis in adults. The detailed uses are as follows:

• Relapsing forms of multiple sclerosis (RMS): Dyfira 120 mg Capsule helps reduce the number of active disease flare-ups and delays the progression of physical disability over time.
• Clinically isolated syndrome (CIS): Dyfira 120 mg Capsule is prescribed for individuals who have experienced a first physical episode of neurological symptoms, helping to delay the onset of fully developed multiple sclerosis.

This medicine brings several key health benefits:

• Supports long-term neurological health: Provide long-term protection for your nervous system, allowing you to maintain your daily physical function and independence.
• Reduces relapses: Helps reduce the frequency and severity of relapses, which helps you experience fewer disruptions to your routine and less pain or fatigue associated with sudden flare-ups.
• Slows disability progression: It helps slow down the accumulation of permanent physical disability, supporting your mobility and coordination.
• Reduces inflammation: Helps reduce the number of active inflammatory lesions in your brain and spinal cord, preserving overall neurological health.

• Dyfira 120 mg Capsule can be taken with or without food, but taking it with food may help reduce side effects like flushing or stomach upset.
• Take Dyfira 120 mg Capsule twice a day, preferably at the same time each day, such as morning with breakfast and evening with dinner. However, follow the dosage and timing advised by the doctor.
• Swallow Dyfira 120 mg Capsule as a whole with a glass of water.
• Do not crush, chew, or break it.

• Manage flushing with meals: Take your dose alongside a meal or snack containing healthy proteins and fats, such as Greek yoghurt, cheese, or peanut butter, to help reduce the intensity of temporary skin flushing.
• Avoid heat triggers: High temperatures can temporarily worsen multiple sclerosis symptoms. Stay in air-conditioned environments during hot days, avoid very hot baths, and use cooling wraps if needed.
• Eat an anti-inflammatory diet: Focus on a balanced diet rich in leafy green vegetables, colourful berries, whole grains, and omega-3 fatty acids (found in fish like salmon or flaxseeds) to support overall brain and nerve health.
• Incorporate low-impact exercise: Gentle physical activities like swimming, walking, or adaptive yoga can help maintain muscle strength, balance, and flexibility without overexerting your body.

• Complete regular tests: Complete all recommended blood and urine tests before starting treatment and at regular intervals as directed by your doctor to monitor your liver function and white blood cell levels.
• Ask about aspirin: Discuss taking a non-enteric-coated aspirin (up to 325 mg) with your doctor before taking your dose, as this is sometimes recommended to help prevent skin flushing.
• Monitor for symptoms:  Monitor yourself closely for any subtle changes in your thinking, memory, balance, or vision, and report these to your healthcare team immediately.
• Swallow the capsule whole: Ensure you do not chew, crush, or open the capsule, as breaking the protective coating can increase stomach-related side effects.
• Keep an updated medicine list: Keep an updated medicine list: Keep an up-to-date list of all medications, supplements, and herbal products you take, and share it with your pharmacist or doctor before starting any new treatments.
• PML monitoring: Your doctor may recommend JC virus (JCV) antibody testing and regular blood tests to help assess your risk of progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML). Discuss your individual risk with your neurologist.
• Allergy to fumaric acid esters (a group of medicines that includes Dyfira 120 mg Capsule ): Do not take this medicine if you are allergic to them, other fumaric acid esters, or any of the ingredients in the product. Consult your doctor if you have had an allergic reaction to these medicines before.
