[split] Dimethylfumarates and Psoriasis

[Caroline]

Dear All friends and members!

It's been a long time. All is working well, I cannot even recall how long it is and still works! Psorinovo. I am taking in a pattern now 1x240 one day, another 2x240 and 3x240. Taking less starts showing me small spots, so I know I still have it... when its sunny I am taking 1x240 / 2x240 instead and still works pretty well.

I have a question, my father who also has psoriasis would like to start taking Psorinovo as well. Have you heard of any problems for the pople with high blood pressure (hypertension) taking the medication?

I am reading that it might stop working and it worries me and scares...

Hello Joana,

There is  no reason why it should stop working, I know several people who are already using it for many years, more than ten, fifteen years. Only occasionally it may stop because your body starts to refuse it. But I would not be scared for that as it very well never may happen.

Anyway always do your regular blood checkups, but I assume that you know that.

I will try to check if high blood pressure could be a point in using Psorinovo. Give me some time.

Good to read from you and from your success !

Hi Joana,

Checked it with my medical contact.
And the answer is: it may or it may not have an effect.
So basically that brings you to nowhere, except for that it is worth trying it very carefully, under the guidance of the doctor and perhaps have a mobile blood pressure checker with you, so your dad can keep a good eye on it.
When you check the internet, there is hardly anything to find on the combination of DMF and blood pressure. Out of the tecfidera corner, I can find one mention of someone who got high bloodpressure, and if it is only one that does not say anything on the cause.

So well, that leaves it up to you, your dad and your doctor.

Hope you can make a wise decision,
Caroline
