Tecfidera is the the name that someone came up with for BG-12 (http://www.drugs.com/history/tecfidera.html), the latest pill-form DMD. I've resisted going back on a DMD after 3 years of Avonex ('00-'03) because I won't do shots and every other new med has too many side effects. This seems very mild with the best record yet of preventing relapses. Because of its neural pathways protection properties, it may even benefit progressive forms of MS.
