I just started Tecfidera yesterday.
Any advice? Or stories of your experience with it?
I started it about 5 months ago and I wish I had sooner! I've had a little flushing, but when I do have it is no more than 5 minutes and I'd take that over a shot any day!
I started Techfidera in January and was told then that taking 1 ibuprofen would help with some symptoms. I unfortunately had a reaction to it and will be back on Copaxone next week! Good luck to you and congrats on needle free therapy!!!
I've been taking it for about a year now and it's going great! In the beginning I took an asprin before each dose which helped with some side effects. In the beginning its more likely to have stomach issues and flushing, but once your body is used to it there's no problem.
take one chewable baby asprin a half hour before tecfidera and you won't have flushing
You are going to love this drug. My son who has MS says its the best drug he has ever been on.
