Overview Demfo 120mg Capsule
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is treated with Demfo 120mg Capsules, which work by modulating the immune response and reducing inflammation responsible for nerve damage, thus slowing disease progression. This medication is not a cure for MS. Always follow your doctor's instructions for taking Demfo 120mg Capsules; taking it with food can minimize stomach upset. Regular blood and urine tests will monitor blood cell counts and kidney/liver function throughout treatment. Consistent daily dosing at the same time maximizes therapeutic benefit and should continue until the prescribed course is complete. Common side effects include facial flushing, abdominal discomfort, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, dyspepsia, gastritis, elevated liver enzymes, and skin rash. Persistent or worsening side effects require immediate medical attention; your physician may offer strategies for management or prevention. Prior to commencing treatment, disclose any existing infections or low white blood cell counts to your doctor. Complete medical history, including all current medications, should be provided to ensure safe use. Pregnant or breastfeeding individuals must consult their doctor before using Demfo 120mg Capsules due to potential harm to the fetus or infant.
