Is Tysabri Right for Me

My MS Before TYSABRI



Do you wonder if you're getting enough from your MS treatment?

There's a lot to consider when choosing an MS treatment. With your doctor, it's important to look at the potential benefits and risks of each MS treatment. It's a good idea to weigh the potential risks of MS progression and increased disability against the potential risks connected with MS treatment. Choosing an MS treatment is one of the most important decisions you and your doctor will make.

Discussing MS Therapy with Your Doctor

TYSABRI should only be used by certain people. Every MS patient's experience is different. There's no single MS treatment that's right for everyone. But, if you have a relapsing form of MS, TYSABRI may be the right MS treatment for you. Talk to your doctor to find out if TYSABRI is right for you.

Who should not receive TYSABRI?

Do not receive TYSABRI if you:

  • Have progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML)
  • Are allergic to TYSABRI or any of its ingredients

TYSABRI treatment is not recommended if you:

  • Have a medical condition that can weaken your immune system, such as HIV infection or AIDS, leukemia or lymphoma, or an organ transplant, or others
