Tecfidera switch to generic Dimethyl Fumarate

Good evening, everyone.

I’ve been on Tecfidera since a bad injection site reaction whilst using copaxone. I’ve had a pretty good experience on Tecfidera, and whilst I’ve still experienced symptoms, they have been relatively minor and infrequent. I also had very few side effects. I have been switched onto the generic Dimeyhyl within the last month and wondered what other peoples experiences were? I’ve noticed that I seem to be having more frequent symptoms that are different in nature… I’ve also been getting really hot, bad headaches (sharp shooting pains that appear from nowhere), stomach problems, and acid reflux). I thought this was probably just all a coincidence, but I just wanted to see if any other people were finding similar? Thanks a lot.

Hi
I’m on vumerity,which is similar.
Biggest side effects I’ve had flushing of the face only lasts about an hour.
Recently really bad diarrhea,but I’ve got bowel and bladder issues.
I’ve been on vumerity since November 2023 had my yearly MRI my consultant was happy for me to continue with it, but as usual any changes contact Ms nurse

Hi, been on Tecfidera for 6 years. Switched to the generic versions a few months back. Made absolutely no difference at all.
I have very few side effects. The very occasional hot flush, but that’s about it.
