Anyone getting flushing 3-6 hours after taking Tecfidera?
Anyone getting flushing 3-6 hours after taking Tecfidera?
Fast forward to this week, and the pattern seems to be changing. I've been getting red 3-6 hours after I've taken the pill for the majority of the week. I am wondering if something I am eating for lunch is triggering it, or if it is just random. Anyone else experience this or have any ideas on how to handle? Becomes quite embarrassing at work during meetings.

Welcome to ThisIsMS. Biogen's website for Tecfidera recommends taking some aspirin to help minimize the flushing side effect. http://www.tecfidera.com/ Have you tried any aspirin yet?

Re: Anyone getting flushing 3-6 hours after taking Tecfidera
Hi,same thing is happening to me...nearly 2 months on and now flushing starts. I do think the food we eat plays a vital role..if I don't eat enough at either breakfast or lunch I start flushing from morning dose. It's hard hitting that balance of fats,carbs and protein at every meal. I've had to change my diet a bit. To start with I put too much emphasis on the amount I was eating and put on weight. I've since realised its more the combo of foods. I make myself eat high good fat with a protein and high fibre carb. Avocado, peanut butter or eggs on toast for breakfast sets me up to not flush later in day. I'm also taking a probiotic and drinking lots water. It's such an individual thing though. Hope you improve.DaveP wrote:Hey, on the full dose of Tecfidera for about two months now. It's the first treatment I've tried - just been diagnosed over the past year. I've been generally tolerating it well (taking morning and night with food) with only occasional flushing issues.
