I’m 54 years old and been taking Raptive for 5-6 years. It had been a life changing drug for me. Totally clear for 5 years. I have since changed drugs and doing very well. My question is do you think that the drug company would pay for some kind of brain testing to see if we have anything to worry about?

I am 61 years old and have been taking RAPTIVA for approx. 2-3 years.
I was wondering if any other patients have reported erection / infertility problems.
I know this can be common amongst men my age but it icoincided with me commencing RAPTIVA treatment.
Maybe a coincident but worth asking the question.

I have been on Raptiva for three years and have many concerns about this drug now. How will it effect me long term once I do get off of it. This has truly scared me.

To this date there have been three known cases of PML, two of which have died, the third in Europe with unconfirmed death. These three patients were all on long term therapy with Raptiva for psoriasis, two of the patients were over 70 years in age, the third in Europe was 47. While Raptiva is speculated to be related, via possible activation of JC Polyoma virus, it has not been proven. This is tragic news for Dermatologists and the psoriasis communiity, since these patients have fared so well on Raptiva.
