Hi, I just wondered if anyone had gone from gilenya to lemtrada and how long they had to be drug free for before they started the first course of lemtrada? My ms nurse said it could be a couple of months or could be longer, I just wanted someones personal experience. Thanks in advance Rx
Not completely but probably relevant: I went from Gilenya to Cladribine and I had a four week washout period.
The following post is about the washout between Tysabri (Natalizamub) and Lemtrada (Alemtuzumab) but if you read through the comments at the end you will see an answer about washout between Gilenya (Fingolimod) and Lemtrada. They don’t recommend a long washout.
