Week One on Tecfidera

17/05/25 10:39

I’ve just finished the first week of Tecfidera with no problems. I’ve been having Greek yoghurt and Honey each morning for breakfast (instead of just coffee) to take the capsules (food must be taken with them). So now I’ve become a man who has breakfast. The first week is on half of the dose of subsequent doses. I think I suffered a wee bit of flushing on the first day of taking it, but it seems to have not affected me as much since—I’ve been a little flushed a couple of other times, but it’s not been a significant issue. With the unseasonable heat at the moment maybe everyone is feeling a bit flushed at the moment anyway.

The common side effects, like gastro intestinal problems, seems to have dodged me so far. I guess I’ll see if I can successfully dodge those bullets once I’m up to full dosage for a while. Fingers and toes crossed.
