OVERVIEW

Tysabri

TYSABRI is a prescription medicine used to treat adults with:

  • relapsing forms of Multiple Sclerosis (MS), to include clinically isolated syndrome, relapsing-remitting disease and active secondary progressive disease.

TYSABRI increases the risk of PML. When starting and continuing treatment with TYSABRI, it is important that you discuss with your doctor whether the expected benefit of TYSABRI is enough to outweigh this risk. See “What is the most important information I should know about TYSABRI?”

TYSABRI is used:

  • to reduce signs and symptoms of CD
  • in people who have not been helped enough by, or cannot use the usual CD medicines and medicines called tumor necrosis factor (TNF) inhibitors.
