The FDA "suggests" 2 weeks but the only "requirement" is that you not be on Tysabri and another DMD or immune suppressive med at the same time....excluding courses of IVSM for flares which are allowed.
My neuro told me to stop my Avonex and schedule my infusion when the insurance approval came through. So my first infusion was a week after my last Avonex shot.
I have now had 16 Tysabri infusions, lots of benefit and no problems so far.
