Default Thinner lightweight people have more risk of PML on Tysabri

This article is fascinating and only confirms my long held suspicion that weight often matters when it comes to drug dosing. Smaller, thinner folk just build up a higher saturation of Tysabri and then are likely more immunosuppressed.

What they are suggesting is that people who are JCV + who are 70 kg. or less move to 5-6 week dosing schedules to lower PML risk instead of every 4 weeks.
