You can find the full article to read on my blog: https://ms-perspektive.com/068-interferons

In today's article, I present interferon-beta, which include several active substances and are known as Avonex, Betaferon, Extavia, Plegridy, Rebif, or under other trade names. They are all approved disease-modifying drugs for relapsing forms of MS. They are used for mild and moderate courses of the disease.
Like glatiramer acetate and fumarates, which have already been presented, interferons have a broader mechanism of action. In the following, I will try to provide a good overview without delving into all the details. And as always: seek advice from MS specialists who know your individual situation, your wishes, your fears and your general state of health.
