Avonex 30mcg injection injections contain the active substance Interferon beta-1a, which is classified as an immunomodulator. Interferons are natural proteins the body produces to fend off infections and diseases. The protein in Avonex 30mcg injection is identical to the one naturally found in humans. This medication is utilized to treat relapsing forms of multiple sclerosis, an autoimmune condition impacting the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord).

It is not recommended to use Avonex 30mcg injection in children and adolescents due to limited data on its effectiveness and safety in this age group, especially in children below ten years old. Inform your doctor if you are allergic to interferon beta-1a or any of its ingredients, have severe depression, suicidal thoughts, uncontrolled epilepsy, serious kidney or liver problems, low white blood cell or platelet count, heart problems, or irritation at the injection site. Report any mood changes, suicidal thoughts, or worsening of existing conditions to your doctor. Transparent communication with your doctor about your medical history and medications is crucial for the safe use of Avonex 30mcg injection.

Uses of Avonex 30mcg Injection

Multiple sclerosis

Therapeutic Effects of Avonex 30mcg Injection

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is the nerve damage in the brain and spinal cord. In this condition, the body's immune system mistakenly attacks its myelin, the protective covering around nerve fibers. When myelin is damaged, the link between the brain and other body parts is disrupted, leading to MS symptoms. Avonex 30mcg injection operates by inhibiting the immune system's attack on myelin. By doing so, it diminishes the frequency and intensity of relapses and hinders the progression of disability in individuals with multiple sclerosis.

Certain medications may interact with Avonex 30mcg injection and cause undesirable side effects, particularly those for epilepsy or depression. Avonex 30mcg injection could interact with or be influenced by other drugs, including those obtained without a prescription.
