Infection & antibiotics whilst taking Tysabri

Okay so I’ve picked up an infection whilst taking Tysabri and doctor has given me Erythromycin (antibiotic) but should I check with the infusion clinic that its okay/safe to take at the same time. Also I’m due my next infusion on Tuesday, so not sure if this will now proceed. Any advice? Thanks Taz

Hi Taz

I don’t know if different areas have different rules, but here in Sheffield you can’t have your infusion when taking a course of antibiotics. Ideally the course of antibiotics should have been finished at least a week before having the next dose of Tysabri.

Give them a call though to double check.
