A member asked:
Should neurology patients on immune-modulatory therapy go off medication because of the risk posed by covid-19?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Only: On a case to case basis as advised by prescribing neurologist. Not all immune modulatory treatments are predisposing patients to more severe cases of COVID and the risk/benefit ratio should be well weighed prior to any changes.
