Skipping Aubagio

[DM0329]

Hi All,

Due to a snafu in my neurologist's office, it has taken me nearly sixty days to refil my prescription. As you know, I started it in April 2022; so, I was trying to get my new (yearly) prescription filled since November 1. Good thing I'm organized because I may not get my medication until December 26, which means I will have not had my pills for six days. Accredo said they will try to expediate it so I may get it tomorrow, December 21, if so, only two days, if I can take it on Thursday. 🤞

To any of you who have skipped your dosage of Aubagio, have you noticed anything? If you had to skip for nearly one week, did you have increased side-effects, almost like when you first started it? Thanks, in advance, for your input!

Happy Holidays! 😇🙏🙂🎄🎅🎉👍

I believe Aubagio stays in your system for quite a while. When I stopped taking it and switched to a different DMT, my neurologist prescribed a medication to flush it out of my body.

Hopefully you won't notice any side effects from the missed days!

Don’t worry if you skipped a dose Aubagio remains in your system for 2 years.

Thanks everyone for your responses. I checked and it's now scheduled for December 27 delivery. Sheesh, but I feel better knowing that I'll be okay! 😇🙏🙂🤞🎄🎅🎉🫶

I have been using Abagio since 2017. I have missed dosages. I just start as soon as possible. I haven’t had a problem.

I’ve no bad effects when I skipped accidentally doses. Teriflunomide stays in the body for 2 yrs after the last dose. Hope you get a present from Accredo quickly!

Well, I got a recorded message on my phone that said I can expect it on December 27; so only EIGHT DAYS WITHOUT MY MS MEDICATION. Thanks for giving me the support I needed. This has been very stressful, especially since I had been trying to get my script refilled since NOVEMBER 1. 😱👎
