<p>[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 4794185"]All patients will lose 30% of their white blood cell counts, they die and do not return. 4 cases of PML in Europe tied to this drug is concerning and now a death in the US that was most likely tied to it..... The Cleveland Clinic has already started doing JC Virus testing as protocol for Tecfidera and I'm sure a REMs program will be right around the corner just like Tysabri. Also the twice a day is a hassle for many patients, you can't miss a dose because of its short half life, if you do you won't be getting the full effects of the drug. The uptake of the drug has been unreal but until it's out for a few years we won't know how it will affect patients...... We don't use this drug unless they fail on other drugs, won't be a first line option for us for at least 3-5 years.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
