The present invention provides methods treating multiple sclerosis (MS) in a patient in need of treatment thereof. The methods comprise co-administering to the patient a fumarate or pharmaceutical acceptable salt thereof, and at least one sulfonylurea or pharmaceutical acceptable salt thereof, where the amount of the fumarate is administered at a dose lower than the therapeutically effective dose if the fumarate is administered alone.
