Clearing some of the Confusion on: Natalizumab (Tysabri)

Cherie Binns commented on your note "Cladribine and Natalizumab can adversely interact".

"I'd like to clear some confusion.   As far as I know, there IS NO DRUG in oral form that will do what Tysabri does.   I think this is a mistaken impression placed on our minds by a NARCOMS Cleveland Clinic questionnaire which went out recently looking at people's methods of making decisions regarding their therapy.   They had one series of questions talking about the effectiveness of Tysabri and said "if a pill that did the same thing were to exist and you had a 1:1000 chance of dying in your sleep the next night, would you take that chance?"   There is no pill that does that!  It was a confusing questionnaire and , for some, maybe even damaging by the ideas it placed in thought."
