I wouldn't think the pharmacy could just give you the Fumaderm if your script is for Skilarence. Even if you have taken it in the past.

I guess the good news is that you won't be going without while everything gets sorted and hopefully you get it sorted out soon!

Hi Jim

I'll be interested to see how you get on as I'm currently on Skilarence and have found that I get many more side effects even on the initial tablets. When I was on Fumaderm, other than a few flushing episodes I had nothing. 

I have yet to be convinced about Skilarence as my body clearly isn't as keen. I'm currently on 1x morning 1x afternoon and 2 x night and although my skin is smoother it's still as red. But it's the stomach cramps that get me down.

I'll be watching with interest.

That's interesting that you are tolerating it less well than fumaderm ...I hope I don't have the same experience but I've yet to get the tablets

Fear not I will update this thread with my experience as soon as I get my supply

I have my last set of blood results so will be able to see if there's any changes occurring ...but have to admit the thought of those cramps dies begin to fill me with fear

I hope your side effects calm down soon and look forward to hearing

I still think you should have taken the Fumaderm, Jim.

OBI, what is the formulation of Skilarence? So much for the manufacturer claiming gastro-resistant tablets. Are you sure it is your stomach being irritated? I reduce my side effects by drinking plenty of water in the hours before dosing and taking the drug after a meal so it will mix well with my stomach contents.

Cheers

Hi Bill

I'll have to get back to you on the formulation, however what I can say is that I take Skilarence exactly the same as I did the Fumaderm - straight after food with several glasses of water. I had no intestinal issues with Fumaderm, even when I took it with little food or water, but seem to have lots with Skilarence - and don't even mention the bloating!!!

Obi,

There is a strange set of fillers in Skilarence, of which I do not understand why. It seems senseless.
There is also lactose in Skilarence, you are not by any chance lactose intolerant ?

It is the reason why we have Psorinovo, which I even can take when I am sober, and even then I will not have cramps.

I really don’t understand the insanity that has led to a non-slow release of a brand new product. Even primary school logic says that spreading something that hurts will make it hurt less.

Bill,

Skilarence has a stomach resistant coating. Obi has intestine cramps.
