Tysabri

Hi People, Just curious, I was told in the beginning that Tysabri was to be administered monthly? I am as others on a six weekly infusion, Wether it is just me or not? I am finding that I start feeling worse comes week four/ five? Maybe that was the reason for monthly??? I still feel it is not the wonder drug many say for me at least,but I can function unlike when trying Gilenya.
@Brando

I was told the drug last in your system for approximately 6 weeks, I have it administered monthly if everything is to plan but as things come up I do occasionally have it every 5-6 weeks some times. I don't feel anything from it anymore but I have been on tysabri for almost 10 years now though. I don't fully understand what you mean by not feeling well either? do you mean symptoms reappear? Or you just feel ill if you don't take it every month.

@kea21 , unless there's a specific reason to prescribe otherwise, the usual dosage is every four weeks :- https://www.mstrust.org.uk/a-z/tysabri-natalizumab
