Tecfederia and alcohol, do they mix okay

I’m due to go out with some friends soon for a celebration but I haven’t drank since I’ve been on Tecfederia. Has anyone drank with it and was there any effects?
@dannibrett

Afternoon 🙂 I'm on week 4 of Tecfidera; Ive noticed my flushing is more noticeable after a drink (I start looking a bit sunburnt!) And it lasts about half an hour. My balance is a bit wobbly anyway so alcohol tends to make that worse but haven't noticed any really unpleasant side effects since starting Tec. The booklet does advise you not to have a strong spirit for a few hours after taking your tablet. Hope this helps!

Thank you that’s really helpful! I know you had to wait a bit after the tablet but wasn’t sure what the effects may be. Flushing I can cope with I usually flush with alcohol anyway so I can disguise it. Thank you!!
