Hi @gemmat2014, I started Tecfidera at the start of November, it's the first drug I've been on so I can't compare. I've been on a side effects trial which is coming to an end, but I've been on pure Tecfidera since the start of Dec. I get hot flushes from it, once a day, occasionally not always. Lasts up to 45 mins, just burn and go red, I haven't had any stomach cramps which seems to be quite popular with this. My advice eat a meal within an hour before you take it. Good diet might help too! Keep in touch let us know how you get on. Everyone will react differently. First day always seems the worst. ;-) x
