Advice & Tips
All of the side effects are slight when taking Ibuprofen at the time of injection. I take the shot around 5pm so that I feel good when I wake up in the morning. I don't notice any of the side effects in the morning, unless I don't take the Ibuprofen, and then I suffer from chills and wake up sweating about 3am.

About Rebif (Prescription Drug)

Rebif, a brand name for interferon beta-1a, is an immunomodulator used to prevent episodes of symptoms and slow the development of disability in patients with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis. It is given subcutaneously (under the skin) three times a week, ideally the same 3 days each week.
