Advice & Tips
I took this out of the convenience of being administered only once a week. I didn't think it was working well enough over the years. If I had stretched and had a proper weight machine + recumbent bike; my physical decline would not have led me to trade this for Copaxone, etc.
Cost: < $25 monthly

About Interferon beta-1a IM Injection (Prescription Drug)

Interferon beta-1a is a drug in the interferon family used to treat multiple sclerosis (MS). It is produced by mammalian cells while Interferon beta-1b is produced in modified E. coli. Interferons have been shown to have about a 30–35% reduction in the rate of MS relapses, and to slow the progression of disability in MS patients.
