Default Tysabri Dosage Question

Hi all,

I could call my neuro on this but then they would have to pull my file and it would not be in the right place when the girl that fills out my disability forms comes in to get them.....it is a CRAZY situation..........

Well my question is what is the dosage that we get on tysabri every 28 days...I know from looking at all the Ty posts that it is the same for everyone...I need to know the dosage though and couldn't find it anywhere.

Thanks

Joe



I need this to add to my SSDI application

Hi Joe!

The dose is 300mg/15 mL per vial(20mg/mL). This information is contained on the drug information sheet included with every vial of Tysabri.

(I know this because I ask for and receive every empty vial, box and info sheet before the infusion is started. I want the lot number and expiration date in case there's ever a problem or recall!)
