Fumaderm

I have been taking Fumaderm for about 4 years. Now my deramatologist is telling me that they can no longer prescribe Fumaderm. I have good results and very limited side effect. So why can they just stop prescribing this medicine.

Fumaderm has never been a fully licensed medication in th3 UK for the treatment of psoriasis.. A new form, fully licensed, called Skilarence is now being prescribed. I’ve been on it for about a month and can see no difference in its effects compared with Fumaderm.

Gareth. Thanks for your reply. I have tried Skilarence and about 4 other forms of tablets. These tablets had a very bad reaction with my body. The only tablet that has a positive effect has been Fumaderm. How after 4 years can they say we are no longer prescribing this drug.
