BG-12-Tecfidera-Biogen
 
The FDA approved today Biogen's Tecifera which is BG-12.

Let us all know just how awesome it is for you, Eddie.:hug:

Tecifera? How do they come up with these names? I was hoping for something a little more snazzy! :D. What an odd name.

Anyhow, good luck to all those who start. I know people have been waiting for this for quite awhile.

Just checked. The name is even weirder. It's actually Tecfidera. It sounds like a type of dinosaur! :)

seems to me that the side effects are quite mild compared to other oral drugs...any thoughts about this?

My thought exactly! Isn't that some racing/betting term? Trifecta?

We could call it technopill to make it easier. :)

I want it. And the fact that Teva tried to prevent the FDA's approval makes me want it even more.

SallyC 03-28-2013 11:28 AM

Too spensive Ricky, for a maybe it will maybe it
won't pill. I'll stick with LDN, I'm sure it's helping
me and it's pretty cheap, too..:)

But, if you guys show me it's better, I'm on it like
ugly on an Ape.:D
