Hi… I have been on Tecfidera for 6 years and have over the last year or so had reflux with the medication (some of it was because I was not taking it on a full stomach). Recently, it has got very bad despite taking to with a full meal. I have stomach pain and indigestion. Think it was made worse by taking the generic version.
Has anyone else experienced this after years of taking the mediation? Do any fellow users have any tips to help? (Struggling at the moment
)
Hi, i have been on tecfidera from July 2015 to recently when they changed it. I still do have problems every now & then, acid reflux and flushing. I found that taking the tablet with full fat greek yoghurt helps a lot. I also take kefir.
Hope this helps a bit.

Hi, I have had the same problem, Ive been on Tec since 2015 and all was good until they changed me to the generic version, and like you terrible reflux and stomach pain, they swapped me back but it made no difference, I cant tolerate fatty foods or large meals, mind you any food can set it off. Ive had a gastroscopy to rule out other causes but that was clear, they took me off them completely for 3 weeks but it made no difference, I saw a specialist yest who thinks it could be gallstones so has ordered an mri as theyre not showing on ultrasound as have also had one of those. I feel your pain its awful 

There are no words to describe the stomach pain I had with Tecifedra when I first started it.
I remember what finally REALLY helped was taking Mebeverine HCl 135 mg (check what the brand name of this ingredient is in your country and check with your doctor first).
I honestly thought I would just have to give up on Tecifedra until I found Mebeverine HCl 135 mg.
Hi
Thanks for the tip , im.seeing a specialist atm so will suggest it see what he thinks.
