Tecfidera Or Gillenia

A MyMSTeam Member asked a question 💭
Marion, OH

Need some help making a really hard choice? Originally I had ruled these drugs out. But after reactions to 1 drug and dr saying I need something stronger bc Copaxon is not working I am stuck with only these 2 options for now to chose from. Please give me some insight

My spouse was taking Tecfidera for 3 yrs. until he was hospitalized last year and couldn't swallow the pills now he's back on Rebif injections. Sure wish we could give this unopened bottle of Tecfidera to some organization, a terrible thing to waste and costly.

Was on Tecifidera for almost 2 years. Doctor took me off it dye to my white blood cell count staying too low. Going to Gilenya in a few weeks.

Hi, I took tacfidera and it was really hard on me and gave me big liver problems. I am on Gylenia right now and have been for the past three months. No side effects that I am aware of. Hope this helps.
