High dose biotin

I wanted to have my PCP order the high-dose biotin on Tuesday. They are already using it in France for PPMS, but here it's still in trial phase.

And then I saw this article...

Good-bye, high-dose biotin.

Thank you for finding this information

Good to know.

I read your the information paper it’s kind of scary that they would give this medicine to anyone.

Welcome to socialized medicine where everyone is a guinea pig. It is like the UK not approving Ocrevus because it's too expensive but using cheap cholesterol drugs to treat MS and claiming they work.

I was part of a study at UCSF, I didn’t find that the high doses were helping at all, so I stopped.

Thank you, at least you didn't get hurt. I think I will just give Ocrevus a chance.
