What is it?
More questions than answers. Sure enough, I'll have more questions, but someone, somewhere has an answer.
AUBAGIO is a once-daily pill used to treat relapsing forms of MS that has been shown to quiet MS. AUBAGIO® (teriflunomide) is effective across key measures of disease activity: sustained disability progression (14 mg only), annualized relapse rate, and MRI activity. Overall discontinuation rates due to adverse events were 12.5% with AUBAGIO 14 mg, 11.2% with AUBAGIO 7 mg, and 7.5% with placebo, and treatment discontinuation rates due to common adverse events were ≤3.3% in the pooled clinical trials.
This pill can be taken any time of day, any place, with or without food. It does not need to be taken at exactly the same time each day. AUBAGIO is available in two strengths, 7 mg and 14 mg, and the more commonly prescribed strength is 14 mg. Your healthcare provider will decide which one is right for you.
AUBAGIO may stay in your blood for up to 2 years after you stop taking it. Your healthcare provider can prescribe a medicine that can remove AUBAGIO from your blood quickly.
Before taking AUBAGIO, talk with your healthcare provider if you have: liver or kidney problems; a fever or infection, or if you are unable to fight infections; numbness or tingling in your hands or feet that is different from your MS symptoms; diabetes; serious skin problems when taking other medicines; breathing problems; or high blood pressure. Your healthcare provider will check your blood cell count and TB test before you start AUBAGIO. Talk with your healthcare provider if you take or are planning to take other medicines (especially medicines for treating cancer or controlling your immune system), vaccines, vitamins or herbal supplements.
AUBAGIO may cause serious side effects, including: reduced white blood cell count — this may cause you to have more infections; numbness or tingling in your hands or feet that is different from your MS symptoms; serious skin problems; breathing problems (new or worsening); and high blood pressure.
The most common side effects when taking AUBAGIO include: headache; diarrhea; nausea; hair thinning or loss; and abnormal liver test results. These are not all the side effects of AUBAGIO. Tell your healthcare provider about any side effect that bothers you.
Everyone is different on medicine.
Everyone have different reaction on medication.
There people put there that may have the same reaction but a lot take it differently
It affects people differently. Am on Tecfidera and I have no problems. All these medicines are all different. I have a friend that is allergic to all the medicines in the market.
I'm on Aubagio. I really, really like it. It doesn't cause hair loss issues for me but did give one of my friends problems with her hair.
That is correct.
