What are the different medications for MS?
• There are several different types of medications to take for MS, but the most common disease-modifying agents are: • Avonex – An intermuscular injection once a week • These next medications are interferons that are sub-q (or subcutaneous, where the syringe is placed directly into the skin ) • Beta Seron – An injection once every other day (I was on this for the last 4 years) • Copaxone – An injection every day (I took this my 1st year) • Rebif – An injection 3 times a week • Tysabri – An infusion once a month (my current medication!)
