Does tysabri / natalizumab increase the risk of shingles?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: If you have had chickenpox, then taking Natalizumab will increase your risk of developing shingles. Exactly how much your risk is increased is unknown but Natalizumab use has been associated with an increased risk of serious herpes virus infections (the virus that causes shingles is a herpes virus).
