Hence, that will actually be a price drop of 45%, which is manageable.

However, only when I see it in writing I will be happy to go to one of them.

I do like the way this is going. Good old-fashioned competition between infusion centers!

EDIT: I just received a call from the infusion center and BIOGEN is sending the Tysabri to them so that the infusion center cannot mark-up the price by 50%. LOL

Hi Vic,

I've been off neurotalk for a few weeks but I came back to check in and discovered your good news. I am so happy to hear that your Tysabri costs are going down!! It made me smile.
