Anyone else on this med?
This is from the NMSS:
"Of two different doses tested during the TEMSO trial (7 mg and 14 mg), the higher dose also slowed progression of disability. Both doses also had a favorable effect on several MRI measures, including a smaller increase in total lesion volume and fewer new and actives lesions compared with placebo."
"Note: Aubagio remains in the blood for an average of eight months after a person stops taking the medication, but may remain in the blood for up to two years after the last dose. If necessary, for medical reasons or because a woman has become pregnant or a woman or man wishes to conceive a child, the medication can be eliminated from the body in 11 days with the use of cholestyramine or active charcoal."

I have been waiting on BG12 for what seems like forever!! However, my neuro doesn't want me to continue waiting as I am having increase visual issues (decrease visual field, and continued RAPD) So, he want me to start the Aubagio and change to the BG12 when it comes out.
