TecGistry, the TECFIDERA® (dimethyl fumarate) Pregnancy Exposure Registry
If you become pregnant while taking TECFIDERA or were taking TECFIDERA since your last menstrual period prior to becoming pregnant, it is important for you to know about this pregnancy registry and how you can participate.
You may have asked yourself whether your relapsing MS and the medication you take will affect your baby
The effects of a particular medicine on the health of a baby are often unknown because pregnant women are not usually included in studies where a potential new medicine is being tested. Pregnancy registries aim to collect information that could help women in the future and their doctors make more informed decisions about using a particular medicine during pregnancy.
