When you start on a disease-modifying drug (DMD) to treat relapsing multiple sclerosis (RMS), you may be looking for a therapy with product features that allow for flexibility.
Taking Rebif® (interferon beta-1a) 3 times weekly, at least 48 hours apart, as prescribed by your doctor, means that you can pick the days that work best with your schedule—you can even choose to keep your weekends injection free.
Please see Important Safety Information below and the Rebif Medication Guide and Prescribing Information at the top of this website, and speak with your healthcare provider for more information.
When you take Rebif to treat your RMS, it's helpful to keep track of your therapy regimen. Because Rebif is injected 3 times weekly, at least 48 hours apart, it’s important to keep track of how you rotate your injection sites. (Refer to the Instructions for Use for injection-site selection and additional tips.)
MS LifeLines® has developed a downloadable treatment journal that contains information and tips to help you with your Rebif treatment. It also has weekly tracking pages that will let you monitor your injections for a whole year.
