ive only been on the 4 tabs for 3 wks but im thinking of contacting consultant to see if i can go higher as i feel its not improving any more.
my consultant didnt want me going on fumaderm and only agreed to it as i pushed her, she seems to prefer methatrexade. im sure if i ask to up dose she will probably try and persude me to change tablets but i would like to stick on them.
im i right in believing you can got up to six a day.
thanks for your help
Yes that's right the maximum dose is six tablets a day after the initial white tablet build up which should take 3 weeks , you build up to the maximum dose of full strength tablets ( blue)!by increasing by one tablet a week so six weeks after you start on the blue pills you should be up to six tablets a day you should then have a stabilising period
When you have been clear a while you can then start to reduce the tablets...
I now take 4 a day to keep the psoriasis away
See the leaflet instructions here
Fumaderm leaflet
Don't let your dermatologist put you on methotrexate as Fumaderm is a far safer drug
But they both need blood monitoring
