Switching treatment.....
I have been having kidney problems which i am convinced are being cause by extavia. after nearly a year the doctors agree with me and want to either switch my medication or stop my treatment entirely for a few months to see if the problems continue. Has anyone switched treatments before? can you go strait from one drug to another or do you have to wait a few months till its out of your system before you can start something else?
hi <a href='https://shift.ms/community/people/hugmachine/' rel='nofollow'>@hugmachine</a>, I have no experience of extavia so would recommend you speak to your ms team, but I switched from copaxone to avonex about 18 months ago and was told I needed to have a month in between. It timed really nicely as it was over xmas and meant I could go away without a case full of syringes and sharps bin! Although I was slightly nervous to be off meds after so long it was really nice to have a break from the needles for a few weeks! Good luck x
