My daughter is taking tecfidera, she has very troublesome side effects, redness, burning and itching all over her body, it can last from a few minutes to at least 1 hour. 

Any tips to reduce her symptoms?

@Jastanley9 what do you think?

Take with food. Biggest mistake at first. Your body adapts. If not discuss w doctor. What else does she take at same time?

i find tecfederia easy to take and use. It does affect other immune depressing issues. So flu shots covid. Boosters get the high dose. Watch crowds. Use mask. Better to be safe than sick. On the other hand 2 pills a day is simple to take.

I was lucky and did not have these but I have addressed them with support. First take with food. Some ice on areas info reddness and to reduce the itching. If your child is taking the 240 mg try to get the 120mg and spread out the amount. Otherwise I understand the side affects stop after some time

Well it appears I am the only one on this medication. It has been great for the most part. It does affect the ability of other meds especially shots it can weaken the system so ask for the higher dose flu shots etc. I recommend this for the rrms people. Easy to take.
