    • Notes for Professionals: Alcohol should not be taken at the time of a diroximel fumarate delayed-release capsule dose. The active metabolite of diroximel fumarate is monomethyl fumarate, or MMF. The mean peak plasma MMF concentration decreased by 9% and 21%, when the dose was coadministered with 240 mL of 5% v/v and 40% v/v of alcohol, respectively. Total MMF exposure is not altered; coingestion of ethanol does not induce "dose dumping".
