Tecfidera vs Fumaderm

[jiml]

Hi jmcarlo,

I take raw DMF for p and psa. The use of DMF for ms is quite different as you are put on a standard dosage, whereas for p and psa the dosage is titrated by your dermatologist or rheumatologist until an effective dosage is found. During treatment you are monitored for effects on your liver and kidney function as well as your lymphocyte levels. If you respond well to treatment your specialist will gradually reduce the dosage of DMF until a minimum effective dosage is found. It may be of interest to you that the topical therapeutic calcipotriol has a synergistic effect when used in conjunction with DMF, so this might be an option for you if you are only taking DMF for ms.

If I could only offer you one piece of advice it would be to take your DMF with plenty of food, and on no account should you ever take the raw stuff with bananas.

Good luck.

That's strange Bill I love bananas and they don't affect me in any way ... Interesting how it affects different people it must be the coating on tablet form that protect me
