Product Overview
About TEVA-TERIFLUNOMIDE
TEVA-TERIFLUNOMIDE is a medication primarily used in the treatment of multiple sclerosis (MS), a chronic and often disabling autoimmune disease affecting the central nervous system. It belongs to a class of drugs known as disease-modifying therapies (DMTs) that help reduce the frequency of relapses and slow the progression of the disease. TEVA-TERIFLUNOMIDE works by modulating the immune system, reducing the number of lymphocytes in the blood, which are thought to be involved in the disease process of MS.
Key Benefits & Uses
- Reduces the frequency of relapses in patients with relapsing forms of multiple sclerosis
- Delays the progression of disability
- Provides an oral treatment option for patients, offering convenience and potentially improving adherence to therapy
Active Ingredient & Action
The active ingredient in TEVA-TERIFLUNOMIDE is TERIFLUNOMIDE, which acts by inhibiting the mitochondrial enzyme dihydroorotate dehydrogenase, necessary for the de novo synthesis of pyrimidines. This inhibition results in a decrease in lymphocyte proliferation, which is believed to be responsible for its therapeutic effect in multiple sclerosis.
Important Notes
Patients should consult their healthcare provider before starting TEVA-TERIFLUNOMIDE, especially if they have a history of liver disease, severe infections, or if they are pregnant or planning to become pregnant. Regular monitoring of liver enzymes and blood cell counts is recommended during treatment. It is also important to follow the prescribed dosage and administration instructions carefully to minimize potential side effects and ensure the effectiveness of the treatment.
