Hey! I m going to start Mavenclad pretty soon and I’m a little scared of the cancer side effect. My doctor reassured me that it is, in fact, very rare and I know that it happend in clinical trials, where the dose was higher. Anyway, from what I’ve read, it is a pretty good medicine. Anyone on Mavenclad that can tell me more about it?

Is hair loss a side effect of Tecfidera?

Hey guys! I have started Tecfidera for a week now, which has been all good so far. As I am starting my 240 dose now, I was reading the leaflet and saw that hair loss was a potential side effect.
