Hi Doydie
Navotrone is a chemo for SPMS or worse, with a lifetime limit:
"In multiple sclerosis, the usual dosage is 12 mg/m(2) through IV every 3 months. Ordinarily, patients should not receive Novantrone treatment for more than two years at a time, and should not receive more than 140-160 mg/m(2) in a lifetime"
