The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE), the cost-effectiveness watchdog for England and Wales, has issued draft guidance recommending Skilarence (dimethyl fumarate).

Dimethyl fumarate is recommended for adults who have not responded to, or cannot take, other systemic non-biological treatments.
