Hi Kath,
Point 1: I disagree with Jim on the issue of going for 8 x 120 mg tablets. That is too much with Fumaderm, your derm ought to know that.

Short intermezzo. I drop in quite immediate and directly give my opinion out of knowledge and just because I am Dutch, we Dutch are like that, don't worry we still can be nice and friendly

Point 2: The reason why you can not go above 6 tablets is the fact that from that moment on the additives that are in Fumaderm become too toxic for your body. This could finally lead to the point that you might have to stop the treatment and that would be a pity.
Point 3: I myself am not on Fumaderm but on Psorinovo, which is different from Fumaderm in the fact that it does not contain any additives but only DMF.
Point 4: The second difference between the two is that the latter is enteric coated slow release. It passes your stomach first and than will slowly release in your intestines. This reduces the side effects and therefore there is basically no upper limit in the number of tablets. I know people who are using up to 12 tablets for years.
Point 5: The only disadvantage is that Psorinovo only can be ordered from the Netherlands.
There is a lot to read on this forum on both products and on DMF as a whole.
I am very interested in your opinion on my thread on Dimethylfumarates and Psoriasis seen from your knowledge on bio things.
Hope to hear from you soon.
Caroline.
