**Purpose:** MS (Multiple Sclerosis) *(Started Jun 01, 2004)*
Date	Dosage	Efficacy	Side Effects	Adherence	Burden
Mar 01, 2007	20 mg Daily	Slight	None	Always	A little

Date: Mar 01, 2007
Advice & Tips: Daily injections lead to a toughening of the sub-dermal layer and an ever shrinking area in which to inject. I never had much fat and had to be creative until I decided it was less effective than Avonex. However I tried Novantrone next; A fast failure.
Cost: $25-49 monthly
