Daclizumab is an experimental drug treatment being developed for relapsing remitting MS. It is taken as an injection under the skin, once a month. In clinical trials, daclizumab reduced relapse rates by approximately 50% compared to placebo and by 45% compared to beta interferon. The drug was licensed in Europe in July 2016.

Now what does this info say about beta inferferon?!!! Only a 5 % better result than by taking nothing?
