But for now I've just found this old post. RE: Queen Mary University to develop a targeted approach to psoriasis treatment
Where she said.
Quote:
You can only get it at Steunpunt Apotheek Mierlo-Hout, at Mierlo-Hout, in the Netherlands. They will send it abroad if you order it there though. Only problem is the insurance of course.
Oh and to Psoriasis Club by the way.
That is exactly what I wanted to answer.
As far as I know you just order it, they put it in a package and send it to you. I don't see a reason why they should intercept it at the customs.
Indeed I guess the insurance will not cover it, unless you have a very flexible insurance company.
What you could do is ask them if they pay for Dimethylfumarate, irrespective of the container it is in. That is how it works with me. The insurance covers the working substance. The fact that it is enteric coated and slow release (this last is also very important, and Fumaderm doesn't have it) does not matter over here.
The formula enteric coated and slow release, and the fact that it is only DMF, is the big difference with Fumaderm. That last has a number of additives added in order to prevent problems in your stomach. The additives limit the maximum dose of Fumaderm to 6x120. With Psorinovo there is basically nu upper limit and many people need a bit more, depending on the seriousness of the psoriasis.
If you need an exact address I can send that to you.
