I have been on Aubagio for sixteen months and no side effects and last two MRI’s were stable. Everyone is different, but this has worked for me👍🙏🐾😉. K

I was on Copaxone and never had any side effects. But I sure understand how you feel. I have one kidney, was born with only one, and am cautious about what side effects meds can have. 😀

I am currently on Aubagio and haven’t really suffered any side effects since starting it last year. If you are concerned about side effects, I would think that Aubagio would be a better choice against the infusion. Good luck with your decision!

I started out with Aubagio and faired well on it. Then had to switch to Tecfidera because of my insurance. A year later after suffering through the flush and feeling crappy I was able to get back on Aubagio. I have been on it about 1 1/2. Last years MRIs showed new lesions but doc thought it occurred while I was transitioning between the drugs. This years MRI’s showed nothing new and I have no side effects. They have offered me the infusion but the cons of more side effects likely always makes me stick with Aubagio. I think I will stay that course unless have more progression. Good luck with whatever you choose!
