Taking Tecfidera

Hi all, I have just started taking Tecfidera and this week I am beginning the higher dose. I have experienced flushes ( I can cope with these). This week the nausea and stomach cramps are much worse. Any advice on whats best to eat. As advised by MS nurse I have been "sandwiching" tablet and taking half way through meal. Mainly morning tablet that affects me, need help on what to eat and ways to prevent side affects being so severe. Grateful for any tips x

Hi @redhead I'm on Tec I had loads of advice from quite a few of the good people on here. So my turn to try and help. In the morning I take the tab and then have a medium bowl of Allen with a bit of milk. You could try taking an antihistamine or an aspirin. I have also heard that a full English breakfast may help. Macky D sausage and egg mcmuffin also works for me. For the evening tab I always have a breakfast bar after taking it. Wish you all the best. Have you had any flushing?
