Just wondering how many people are JC virus + and taking tecfidera. I am + and have been taking tecfidera for over a year. I do have blood work every 3 months and so far no problems. I know there is a lot of talk about some PML cases but these cases have involved patients who had severe leukopenia for long periods of time.
Read that Biogen's stock has gone way down because fewer people are taking this medication because of the PML cases. Not sure if this is because doctor's are prescribing it less or patients are refusing it.
I know that many patients are + for the virus and still receive Tysabri infusions with careful monitoring by their doctors. Why should tecfidera be any different?
