I am on tysabri - just had one infusion. . no problems or reaction. . small IV, just out in the hand. .

I asked my neurologist about it today, and sadly, it's not available in my country yet. It sounds really good. Same efficiency as Betaseron and Rebif, but with only one IV injection a month.

I really hope it becomes legal here soon.

Hi all.

Just wondering is Tysabri available in Ireland. Only on Rebif a year or so but no one has mentioned Tysabri to me or anyone I know with MS. Any info on the drug much appreciated.

it should be available in ireland - it was a joint venture between Elan (irish company) and biogen
