Yes, Tecfidera can be used in people over 65 years of age, but it requires special care.
Tecfidera is indicated for the treatment of relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis. The mechanism of action of the active substance does not indicate the need for dose adjustment in the elderly, but caution is advised, especially in patients with severe renal or hepatic impairment
Seniors are at increased risk of side effects, such as a weakened immune system or gastrointestinal problems. Regular blood tests and monitoring of kidney and liver function during therapy are recommended. It is worth consulting a doctor who will assess the balance of benefits and risks in an individual case.
