Hi,
I have been on Tecfidera since 2015. I had occasional side effects, mainly flushing which would appear quite quickly and go after about 30 minutes. Recently the supplier has been changed. Since taking the new one i have had constant flushes, 2-3 hours after taking the tablet.
I was wondering if anyone else is experiencing side effects?
Thanks
Anna
Hey Anna,
I started on Tecfidera in 2016, was swapped over to a generic version (made by STADA) of Dimethyl Fumarate about 3 months ago. I’ve had a few problems, flushing, stomach issues but the worse of these new side effects is acid reflux, which I’ve never suffered from in the past. Keeps me up at night, not much fun.
I’ve enquired about switching back to Tecfidera but waiting to hear back to see if that’s possible.

Hi, been on Tecfidera for nearly 7 years, last few months have been a generic version.
I had hot flushes for the first few weeks of starting but they faded and next to never appear these days. Generic Tecfidera makes no difference either.
Iv been on it since spring 18. Last relapse was spring 19. Changed to generic version 6 months ago with no changes to side effects.
