Rebif is made of interferon beta-1a, a protein produced in mammalian cells that is similar to the naturally occurring interferon in humans. Betaseron® (interferon beta-1b) is a purified, sterile, lyophilized protein product produced by recombinant DNA techniques. Rebif is taken three times per week by subcutaneous injection, while Betaseron is injected every other day. Betaseron has a broader indication than Rebif. Click here to learn more.
