Usual side effects. Dut in general could it be stopped after some specific time?
24 أغسطس 2014

د. Rania Mousa الطب العام
The best duration of treatment for Rebif is not known. The studies of the drug to date have only examined the effects of treatment for up to four years. Therefore it is important you are reviewed regularly by your doctor, at least every two years to monitor the effects of the medication.

In addition, regular checks of your blood cell counts, liver function tests and thyroid function tests will be performed. These are performed at 1, 3 and 6 months following commencement of the medication also.

After four years your doctor will decide if it is worthwhile continuing the treatment. You should always use Rebif as prescribed by your doctor as they will know what is best for you personally. Do not stop using Rebif or change the dose without consulting your doctor.

However ,Rebif should not be used in the following circumstances:

You have a known hypersensitivity or allergy to interferon beta, albumin, or any other inactive ingredients (mannitol, sodium acetate, acetic acid and/or sodium hydroxide).

You are depressed or are having thoughts of suicide as this class of drugs can increase your risk of these disorders. Likewise if you develop any symptoms of severe sadness, worthlessness or hopelessness during your treatment seek medical help immediately.

You have epilepsy or other fitting disorders not adequately controlled by treatment.
