Should I continue taking my current medication until my Tysabri infusion appointment?

Here is My Question:
I am scheduled to begin Tysabri on Monday and today is Thursday. Do I continue taking my current medication Aubagio up until my infusion appointment?

Answer:
You should speak with your neurologist. I put my patients through a cholestyramine elimination protocol when transitioning away from aubagio. Also, it is not recommended to be on combination therapy for MS. Not undergoing the elimination protocol would effectively be getting combined therapy since Aubagio can be detected in the body for an extended period of time after stopping (up to 2 years).

I was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis in 2016 and put on Avonex immediately. I also discovered the Swank MS diet and went on it soon after being diagnosed. A few years later, my liver enzymes were affected and my neurologist said she had other patients who were just on the Swank diet, so I went off the Avonex and have just been on BEST HEALTH HERBAL CENTRE MS HERBAL TREATMENTS for several weeks. Now, 15 years after my diagnosis, my annual MRI shows no additional lesions and I have no disability. All my symptoms declined. I work as a realtor and interior designer and am on my feet all day. I am 63 and going strong. Anyone who reads this please do everything you can to get early treatment from
