Avonex PS Pre Filled Syringe Information:
Avonex PS Pre Filled Syringe is used for treating multiple sclerosis (MS) in its relapsing form. MS is a chronic disease that affects the central nervous system. The generic name of the drug is Interferon beta-1a and it belongs to the group of immunomodulators. This medicine is used for delaying the onset of the disease if a patient has already experienced a single flare-up of the symptoms or if his/her MRI scans show changes that indicate the likelihood of MS. Avonex PS Pre Filled Syringe is available in the form of an injection that needs to be administered in the muscles or the upper arm or thigh.
Description of Avonex PS Pre Filled Syringe:
Interferon beta-1a is a form of protein which is naturally made in the human body to fight tumors and infections. Avonex PS Pre Filled Syringe is not a cure for MS, but is used only to decrease the frequency of flare-ups and the volume of damaged areas in the brain shown in MRIs. This drug can also be given to MS patients who are still experiencing relapses. For such people, Avonex can decrease the frequency of relapses and also reduce subsequent brain damage.
Advantages of Avonex PS Pre Filled Syringe:
After using Avonex PS Pre Filled Syringe, the frequency of your MS attacks will be reduced, and you may be able to get around with more confidence.
How Avonex PS Pre Filled Syringe Works:
30ug of Avonex PS Pre Filled Syringe is given to a patient once a week (at around the same day and time every week). If your attacks become recurrent, your doctor may decide to give you 60ug of the drug per week. The dosage given to a patient depends on his or her weight, medical condition, response to treatment, and other medical conditions that the patient is suffering from. The exact mechanism of Avonex is not yet known, but it is believed that it works by decreasing unwanted immune reactions against myelin.
Safety & Precautionary Information:
Try to change the site of the injection every time, as lumps may form if it is administered in the same place every week. After you buy Avonex PS Pre Filled Syringe, you should store it in a refrigerator and take it out around 30 minutes before receiving the shot. Do not, under any circumstance, heat the drug in a microwave or in hot water. This syringe should be kept away from heat, light, extreme cold, and moisture.
Avonex PS Pre Filled Syringe may cause a few harmless side effects such as dizziness, lightheadedness, constipation, diarrhea, headache, and blurred vision in some patients. Most of these negative symptoms are temporary and subside over time as your body adjusts to the drug.
