Side effects may include flushing, nausea, diarrhea, abdominal pain, or a decrease in lymphocyte count. In rare cases, severe allergic reactions or progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy may occur.

Dimethyl fumarate is not recommended for patients with hypersensitivity to this medication or active severe infections.
