September 2015 in “Clinical Therapeutics” Teriflunomide was an FDA-approved oral medication for relapsing multiple sclerosis, demonstrating significant efficacy in reducing relapse rates and disease progression in clinical trials. The 14-mg dose notably reduced the annualized relapse rate by up to 36% and decreased disability progression risk, while the 7-mg dose was less effective in preventing disability progression. MRI results supported its efficacy by showing reduced lesion volume. Common adverse events included headache, increased liver enzymes, diarrhea, and alopecia.
