A member asked:
Hi i have rr ms diagnosed and tested abroad , im now living in the us can a family doctor continue prescribing my meds (tecfidera) ?

Would strongly urge you find an experienced neurologist who is familiar with MS, and can handle the relapses and remissions effectively. Your Tecfidera can be prescribed by a licensed family physician, but may not be the best drug to stabilize your condition. We find the best success using the most highly effective disease modifying agents, such as Tysabri, Ocrevus, Kesimpta, or Lemtrada.
