Dr. Jörg-Thomas Dierks, Chief Executive Officer of Neuraxpharm, said: “This launch in Germany represents another significant achievement in our mission to bring innovative therapies to people living with CNS disorders. We now add a new oral fumarate therapy to our expanding multiple sclerosis portfolio which offers patients and neurologists more flexible, differentiated options in MS management.”

Tegomil fumarate, a co-development in collaboration with Tiefenbacher Group, received European Commission marketing authorisation in July 2025, with Germany as the first country to launch in October 2025. Additional launches across Europe are planned.
