    Notes for Consumers: Do not drink alcohol while taking this medication. Drinking alcohol may alter the effects of your medication. Serious side effects may occur. Contact your care team if you experience new or worsening side effects.
    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".
