A member asked:
Can itching be a sign of liver issues? no history of liver disease. am taking tecfidera 2x daily for 250+ days
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: But it is usually present in the setting of other features of liver disease. Tecfidera was reported to cause itching in 8% of people taking it. So this could be the cause of your itching. However, most itching is secondary to simpler things like dry skin.
