Dangerous Drug Alert: The MS Drug Tysabri

What is Tysabri?

Tysabri, known generically as natalizumab, is used to reduce the frequency of multiple sclerosis relapses. Manufactured by Biogen IDEC and Elan, the makers voluntarily withdrew the drug from the market in February 2004 after one patient died and another developed a serious disease during clinical trials.

Possible Side Effects of Taking Tysabri

One person died while using Tysabri in a clinical drug trial. Another MS patient developed Progressive Multifocal Leukoencephalopathy, a rare and often deadly disease of the central nervous system. Both patients had taken Tysabri for more than two years along with Avonex.

FDA Approves Tysabri Again

In June 2006, the FDA approved an application to reintroduce Tysabri as monotherapy treatment for relapsing MS patients because its benefits outweighed its risks. Tysabri should only be prescribed if all other treatments failed.
