AVONEX has been available for over 10 years, and
since 1998 it's the #1 prescribed MS treatment* in the
U.S. and worldwide for many reasons, including:
- AVONEX is effective at treating both relapses and physical
disability
- AVONEX offers once-a-week convenience
AVONEX is prescribed to treat relapsing forms of multiple sclerosis, to
decrease the number of flare-ups and slow the occurrence of some of the
physical disability common in people with MS.
While there is no cure for multiple sclerosis, medical advances over the
last decade have given people with MS hope. Multiple
sclerosis treatments like AVONEX are available to help many people with
relapsing-remitting MS maintain active and independent lives.
Whether you are newly diagnosed or have lived with multiple sclerosis (MS)
for some time, you are not alone. More than 400,000 people in the U.S.
are living with multiple sclerosis. And many of them choose and trust AVONEX as
their multiple
sclerosis treatment.
Since its approval in 1996, tens of thousands of people with multiple
sclerosis have taken AVONEX. More people take AVONEX than any other MS treatment
available. There are many reasons people who use AVONEX may find it
easier to stay with AVONEX and, in fact, stay with it longer.
AVONEX can cause serious side effects, so before you start taking AVONEX,
you should talk with your healthcare provider about the possible side effects
to decide if AVONEX is right for you.
