This Is MS Multiple Sclerosis Community: Knowledge & Support

Fed-Ex just delivered my practice kit. Just before the holidays, I did get a chance to visit with my Beta Nurse and she took me through the new changes.

It will be interesting. It's mid-January now, so I'm guessing the pharmacies are now beginning to stock up on the new pre-filled materials. I have a new perscription for the Betaseron. I've been waiting a bit to get it filled so I can immediately switch over to the new pre-filled stuff.

Anyway, that's my Betaseron update

Cheers,

Niko

Hi Niko,

I am a Betaferon user from the Netherlands. Ik just red that in your country you can get betaferon in an new form? What is new about it?
Do you still need to mix the fluid, wich is in the syringe, with the Betaseron powder wich is in the small bottle or is the proces easyer now? I am very curious about that.

Hi Hilleke


The new thing is that the diluent is now in a pre-filled syringe.
It's supposed to save time. I guess I'll find out when I get my next order!

Cheers,

Niko

Hi Niko,

Thanks for your answer, I guess that we, the dutch betaferon users, have to wait for a long time before we can use this new way of injecting the betaferon. Do you have an internetlink for me so I can search for information about this news on the Internet?
