rebif prescribing information

There is also a warning that Aubagio is not indicated for women who are pregnant or women with childbearing potential who are not using reliable contraception. The prescribing information also contains information on how to clear Aubagio from the system in case that is required. Before people begin taking Aubagio, they should have a blood test, of have had one within six months, to detect levels of liver enzymes and levels of blood cells (Complete Blood Count).

But know there is in rebif because I read the prescribing insert everytime it comes for changes......

Hi Jen, We've not met. I'm Shelly and I'm on Rebif. You'll be contacted to receive your Rebif script, and a nurse covering your area will contact you to find a time to come visit (will also make sure you received the meds - which you'll keep in the fridge). He or she will teach you and whoever else you want to learn the injection techniques. The nurse will also talk to you about your MS, the meds and possible side affects, etc.

Call MS Lifelines (the Rebif nurses) now. I think Rebif is contraindicated in pregnancy. If you don't have their number handy, find it on their website. Congratulations!! First baby?

It is impossible for me, or anyone, to tell whether or not you would have had your attack had rebif been started earlier. Rebif, and other injectable MS medications (the interferons), reduce risk of relapse significantly, but not by 100%, meaning that even if someone is on a medication, they could still have a relapse, but their relapse risk is just less on the interferons.

I have been taking Rebif injections, since January 2010, and I have never missed a single one, until now. Up until January 1, 2012, I have received my Rebif injections, free of charge, due to the fact I had no health insurance. I became eligible for Medicare, on January 1, 2012, and so I have had to wait for MS Lifelines to decide whether I'm still eligible for their "free of charge" program.

I looked at all 4 of the CRABs and their prescribing information. The interferon betas function as an anti-inflammatory and are thought to improve the blood brain barrier. This makes some kind of sense since interferons are a subclass of cytokines (a molecule that provides external signals to cells.) One of the cells cytokines communicate with immune cells. Because cytokines have some control over immune responses, they are classed as immunomodulators. [Wikipedia contributors.

Same here i live in Albania and there is few information and ms specialist.. Can you please tell me how your friend did after quitting???

SydB I took for rebif for over 7 years and did a lot of traveling for work. Rebif provided me with a travel case that had a spot for the rx (I cut out from the box with prescribing info) a compartment with an ice pack, and a compartment for the medicine, autoinjector, most the time it went through security without being questioned. The only time it was opened and inspected was on an international flight. Call them and I'm sure they will send you similar.

Through the MS LifeLines Access Made Simple program, you may be eligible to get Rebif® (interferon beta-1a) at no cost, or for no more than $50 per month, for up to one year of treatment. Best of all, MS LifeLines takes care of all the paperwork.... http://www. mslifelines. com/rebif/insurance/ access-made-simple. jsp?intcmp The following assistance programs info provided by MSAA...msassociation.

There was a thread on this recently - seems like most that are already on meds are staying with them if they are working. Are you on any disease modifying meds at all right now? I am dx CIS and am on REBIF. It's the thinking of my neuro's office that they want to wait on prescribing Gilenya until it's been around for a while and they see long term effects. I wonder why your neuro thinks you are a good candidate for this new drug? Good luck to you!

Is anyone currently taking Rebif? And does anyone know anything about it? I was just (finally) diagnosed with MS, though my Neuro wouln't say which kind it was... and is planning on putting me on Rebif. It's been 2 years since my symptoms started, and haven't had any kind of relapse or relief in any symptoms, they just keep coming.

I have not been on Rebif, but I have read that you should wait at least 1 month preferrably 3. I would definetly wait the 3 months just to make sure.

Lemtrada is a drug with some serious life-threatening side effects that can extend beyond the treatment, such as melonama, bleeding disorders, thyroid issues including cancer as well as, according tho the prescribing information insert, 71% of patients on the drug have infections with some having the potential to be fatal. I hate to sound so negative about this drug but the above comments are based on the prescribing information.

I've never been on betaseron, but had my experience with copaxone and rebif. They both left raised red areas and some bruising. I think that the injection site reactions are ok as long as your feeling fine otherwise. If you are really concerned just give a call for peace of mind. Good luck with your treatments and I hope everything stabilizes for you.

Is there anyone on here who is or has breastfed while taking interferons. I was diagnosed with ms last week and my dr. has prescribed Rebif. If the diagnoses wasn't bad enough, I found out that I will no longer be able to breastfeed my son due to the medicine. Through online research it looks like the interferon molecule is too big to get into the milk and would be destroyed in his digestive track anyway. It also looks like interferons are naturally occuring in the milk.

Hello, I have to try Rebif before my insurance will consider me for an oral DMD (since I've already been on Copaxone). I don't know too much about Rebif. I do know that it's an interferon and can cause flu like symptoms and I think it's intramuscular injections. Do the injections hurt? Do you do the injections or does a nurse come out and give the injections? Are the injections in your legs? How often do you have to get the injections?

What is usually the cost of these meds? ( I am considering trying Rebif or Avonex) I have heard they run about $1500/month. I have to meet a $3000 deductible which means I may have to pay for my first dose. I don't have an extra $1500 floating around. I am really starting to freak out! But then again part of me figures I have probably had MS for 15-20 years an I am fine so far. I guess waiting another 1-2 months to start taking DMDs can't hurt. Can it?

I wonder whether he's saying 'lesions' when he means 'holes' in the retina? If these are in fact 'holes' they can usually be cured by laser surgery as an outpatient. It's quick and quite painless. MS can cause thinning of the retina which can then result in these holes. Usually they are in the periphery but I gather they can occur anywhere in the retina.

Just looking for anymore information or advise about withdraws from Fioricet / I have been taking this medication from years from Migrain headaches, it's seemed the longer I was on it the less it helped so I would increase my doses because I could not get rid of my headaches the other day I just stopped using it because it was like just this non stop headache.

Last year I got diagnosed with MS in the states , now I was supposed to get my treatment back home , however im having problems with my insurance here.. When I was there I heard that if I did some kind of couse in the country for at least 6 months I could get the treatment. I ll apreciate if anyone knows anything about this subject in Maryland or DC ..

I started rebif Nov/12 since being on this medication I have not felt normal,it is like the flare up that will not go away. Prior to Oct.
