Advice & Tips: I took Avonex for 6 months. I had 4 heart attacks within that period. I only had a minor blockage which my doctors say couldn't have caused them. Biogen confirmed Heart Attacks and Congestive Heart Failure were one of the side effects. Biogen strongly encouraged me to stop taking it.
