Side effects are ok at the moment. A bit of skin irritation but only lasts 10-20mins so bearable. The only thing is that my skin looks worse! Is this something that can happen? Does it look worse before it gets better or does it take a while to kick in if it works? Confused.Hi Kerry I'm on skilarence and before I started on that I was on fumaderm for nearly 7 years which is the same basic ingredient DMF .
The drug is known to take a while to work and I know the reason for the slow build up is so your body can adjust to the dmf . One 120mg tablet a day is early to expect too much change but keep on with the build up and hope the side effects don't get too bad. And you should start to see some improvements in the next few weeks Yes simetimes it does get worse before getting better but when it kicks in it can continue to work for many years without any restrictions
Good luck and do stay in touch and let us know how it's working and ask as many questions as you like we will always be pleased to answer
Oh and welcome
