Hello Aubrey,
The working ingredient we are speaking about is DMF, dimethylfumarate.
Fumaderm and Psorinovo (my medication) both contain DMF as the working ingredient.
Fumaderm is a so called combination preparate. It contains monoethylfumarate and Dimethylfumarate, and a number of salts that are in there to protect the stomach. I don't really know if it is really enteric coated. (Jim, do you know that?)
Psorinovo was developed about 20 years ago. It only contains dimethylfumarate. It is enteric coated, therefore it will not fall apart in the stomach, so the problem of stomach cramps is skipped, AND it is slow release, the DMF in Psorinovo will be released in the intestines gradually, which prevents problems in the intestines.
Because of this approach the total dose is relatively unlimited, where the max dose of Fumaderm is 6x120 mg.
in fact it is the same as what Bill is using but then with enteric coating slow release.
So it also does not matter when I take the medication.
It is available in the Netherlands. As far as I know it can be ordered and than will be sent to anywhere in the world, as there are brochures in different languages.
Cheers
