[split] Dimethylfumarates and Psoriasis

[Caroline]

Hi Caroline

I am on a Fumerate (Bisoprolol ) Prescribed long term for an unconnected medical reason. I don't know if it is in the same family of meds you are talking about though.

Hi Tom,

No. Bisoprolol is a bèta blocker. It takes care of heart fibrillations, in fact it prevents the heart to go "on the run" so to speak.
Do you have a heart condition? (You don't have to answer if you don't want to)

Dimethylfumarates are quite a different kind. They prevent the immune system to become over active, or more simply said, they repair part of the energy cycle of your cells. The result is that psoriasis, which is an auto immune disease, does not come to expression.
