Tysabri: really back now.
On June 7, Tysabri was re-approved for the market. Now it's really, truly back, as in available to patients. But only if they go to special clinics registered with the TOUCH program:
"Under the Programonly prescribers, infusion centers and pharmacies associated with infusion centers registered in the TOUCH program are able to prescribe, infuse or distribute Tysabri," Elan said in a statement.
It said it had contracted with a single distribution company and 12 specialty pharmacies to handle the drug.
Good news for patients, and good news for Elan, who nearly went bankrupt in 2002. Looks like everyone wins this time.
