Medication
Dimethyl Fumarate anyone? After 2 long weeks of being on the phone with insurance and “specialty pharmacy” finally getting my prescription. Excited to start treatment nervous of side effects. Any advice with medication would be appreciated. Thank you all and have a good night.
Hello-I’m on DMF too and so far so good. A lot has been said already about this topic if you search for it by the name Techfidera or Dimethyl Fumarate there are lots of posts you may find helpful.
All the drugs have side effects. You can type the drug into the search on herd at the top right. In a nutshell take it 2/3 of the way through a meal containing fat+protein swallowed with a spoonful of peanut butter. FYI in terms of reducing relapses it takes 6mths to start working and is most effective after 2yrs where as modern B Cell blockers take a few weeks.
