Question: is tecfidera a biologic drug?
Answer: Tysabri® (natalizumab) and Novantrone® (mitoxantrone) are also biologics. Copaxone® (glatiramer acetate) and the three oral DMTs, Gilenya® (fingolimod), Aubagio® (oral teriflunomide), and Tecfidera™ (dimethyl fumarate), are not biologics. However, the FDA is currently reviewing alternative drugs similar to Copaxone.
