Yep, it's good to always read the "Full Prescribing Information" before using a drug, but this post is actually pointing out that you should re-read it regularly in order to catch the updates and additional side effects that are discovered once the drug is in full public use.MSUK wrote:Always read the label – MS drug Tecfidera sites possible liver damage

An important quote from this link points out how quickly the liver damage can happen -- in only a few days!
Liver injury has been reported in patients treated with Tecfidera in post-marketing studies. The onset can occur just a few days or several months after beginning a course of the drug.
Yikes.
