  • Burden
    Not at all hard to take
Dosage: 240 mg Twice daily
Advice & Tips: Eat something before taking the morning dose. I take the night dose right before bed. The stomach and flushing issues seem to be fading away now after entering the third week. Great to be away from the injections as I was having site issues after 17 years. Although in secondary progressive, Doc agreed with the decision the switch. Biogen is waving the $75 co-pay for me.
