It comes with the standard warnings about use with other immunosuppressing drugs ( Remicade, Humira, etc) but for those who aren't on those drugs or who haven't had them for a specified amount of time, it is now available.

I hope all goes well with you and Tysabri! Please let us know how it goes with you.
Thanks Riverwild. I know about Ty for Crohn's and just about every other drug for it too, LOL.He's been taking 6mp for his Crohn's and has been doing well. I expect that the resection will only help for few years but hopefully the 6mp will keep him stable for a while. I'd like for him to be a little older so that he can make the Ty decision on his own. I also want to see how I react to it. Hey, we might be able to be Ty buddies in a couple of years! He was not thrlled when I told him that, ah, teenagers!
