What is a common precaution associated with Dimethyl Fumarate (Tecfidera)?

  1. Do not crush, chew, or sprinkle capsule contents on food

  2. Monitor blood pressure weekly

  3. Daily urine tests for protein

  4. Restriction of dietary sodium

The correct answer is: Do not crush, chew, or sprinkle capsule contents on food

A common precaution associated with Dimethyl Fumarate (Tecfidera) is to not crush, chew, or sprinkle capsule contents on food. This is because the contents of the capsule can irritate the mouth and throat if not swallowed whole. Options B, C, and D are not related to the use of Dimethyl Fumarate and are not commonly associated with it. Monitoring blood pressure, daily urine tests for protein, and restricting dietary sodium may be necessary for other medications or health conditions, but not specifically for Dimethyl Fumarate.
