Instant side effects wit Tecfidera

Hey everyone, I started Tecfidera yesterday and after my first dose, within a few hours my face and arms went bright red and were irritatingly itchy and lasted for about an hour. I know flushing is a side effect but I’m wondering if anyone else has had this instantaneous experience with Tecfidera? Thanks for reading :-)

@cosmo89 , it is very common, I can assure you. But, I'll leave it for the Teccies to confirm it to you firsthand.

Hello @cosmo89, yes this is extremely common although it should diminish over time if it does keep happeneing. Type ‘Tecfidera effects’ into the search box on the top left and you’ll find many posts on this with some tips. Good luck! :-)
