Hi there. Interested to know if anyone has experience of taking Vumerity? I read it is same effect as Tecfidera but easier on gastrointestinal system. I think it could be an option for me but welcome views. Thanks, PJ

Is anyone in the UK on Vumerity…version of dimethyl fumarate that supposedly has fewer side effects than Tecfidera. It was approved for use in the UK about six months ago. Partner could not tolerate Tecfidera, and we would desperately like to try Vumerity as an alternative, but have been told that i...

She suggested I switch to Vumerity but having looked up the risks these seem slightly greater ie in t...

I’ve had my little boy now and went back onto Tecfidera but experienced side effects this time round, awful gastrointestinal problems and flushing. I’m not on a DMT now but am due to start Vumerity. I’m just looking to hear people...
