Gastro issues as a side effect of Aubagio.

One of the most reported side effects for Aubagio is diarrhea,
stomach upset and related symptoms, especially early in
treatment. I had what I would describe as near-diarrhea for the
three-plus years of taking Aubagio. It was getting worse in the
fourth year and I was tired of spending 3-4 hours a day in the
bathroom. We were going through a lot of toilet paper too. I
stopped the drug on October 26th and I haven't notified the
doctor yet but I'll see him early in January to see what the
next options will be.
He has mentioned in the past that I might not need medication
now because my MRIs have been clear for at least six years. I'm
sixty years old now and sometimes MS inflammation ends later on
in life. If I do need to take something, I'll go back on the 3x
weekly dose of Copaxone in the generic form.

That's what I would do too though so far I can't say I've been
tempted to go that route. It's hard to tell which of my problems
are due to aging and which to MS at this point. I like to think
that most of them are due to aging. If I felt they were new MS
problems, I might be more inclined to think about Copaxone or
even the new one that is supposed to be for SPMS, siponimod,
when it becomes available.
The overactive bowel or near-diarrhea while on Aubagio must have
been dreary.
