Product Overview
About Rebif
Rebif is a medication used to treat multiple sclerosis (MS).
What it is used for
The exact way that Rebif works in MS is not yet known, but the active substance, interferon beta-1a, seems to calm down the immune system, and prevents relapses of MS.
How it is used
Rebif can only be obtained with a prescription and treatment should be started by a doctor who has experience in the management of MS. The recommended dose of Rebif is 44 micrograms given three times a week by injection under the skin. A 22-microgram dose is recommended for patients who cannot tolerate the higher dose. When first starting treatment with Rebif, the dose should be slowly increased from a starting dose of 8.8 micrograms three times a week to avoid side effects. The patients can inject Rebif themselves once they have been trained.
How it works
The active substance in Rebif is the protein interferon beta-1a, one of a group of interferons that can be naturally produced by the body to help it fight against viruses and other attacks.
