I have been taking Aubagio for over two years now. I take a 5mg biotin capsule at night with it as well as a probiotic. It can cause hair thinning in the first several months which I had but the biotin helps to counteract that. Now my hair is thicker and is also wavy which I never had before. I had GI issues the first few months as well and because I have a nearly vegetarian diet the probiotic helps with the GI issues.
There's a program called MS One to One that gives payment assistance and because of them I've never had to pay my $160 prescription copay. I hope you'll qualify for that too. Their toll free number is 855-676-6326.
It is so much easier than taking an injection. Good luck and let me know how it works out for you.
