Hello all,

I am due to take my monthly Kesimpta dose tomorrow (month 3), but I have been suffering from a minor cold over the last two days - a mild sore throat and a bit bunged up are the only symptoms I have.

I have never suffered any side effects when taking Kesimpta. I know that it says not to take Kesimpta if suffering from an infection, but is this in case of side effects potentially making cold symptoms I’m already suffering from worse?

I can’t remember what my MS nurse said was acceptable, but up to how many days should I delay my dose by if I really shouldn’t be taking it tomorrow?

Thanks in advance!
