Interferon Beta 1a
Posted: Wed Oct 19, 2005 1:50 pm
Okay, I have a stupid question...
If Avonex and Rebif are the same drug (interferon beta 1a) and the difference is the way it is injected (IM vs. SC), then why couldn't someone buy a months supply of Rebif (which is approximately the same price as Avonex) and simply inject 2/3 of the 44mcg dose IM? For the same price (appoximately) you would have 3 months worth of drugs?
Just a silly thought...
Thanks,
Aaron
