Interferons are natural substances made in your body to help protect you from infections and diseases. The protein in Avonex is made up of exactly the same ingredients as interferon beta that is found in the human body. What AVONEX is used for Avonex is used to treat Multiple Sclerosis (MS). Treatment with Avonex can help to prevent you from getting worse, although it will not cure MS. Everyone has their own set of MS symptoms. These can include:</h2><h2 id="feeling-off-balance-or-light-headed-walking-problems-stiffness-and-muscle-spasms-tiredness-numbness-in-the-face-arms-or-legs">Feeling off-balance or light headed, walking problems, stiffness and muscle spasms, tiredness, numbness in the face, arms or legs</h2><h2 id="acute-or-chronic-pain-bladder-and-bowel-problems-sexual-problems-and-problems-seeing-things">Acute or chronic pain, bladder and bowel problems, sexual problems and problems seeing things</h2><h2 id="difficulty-in-thinking-and-concentrating-depression-ms-also-tends-to-flare-up-from-time-to-time-this-is-called-a-relapse-notes-information-avonex-works-best-when-you-use-it">Difficulty in thinking and concentrating, depression. MS also tends to flare up from time to time: this is called a relapse. (Notes information) Avonex works best when you use it:</h2><h2 id="at-the-same-time">at the same time</h2><h2 id="once-a-week">once a week</h2><p>on a regular basis Do not stop your Avonex treatment without speaking to your doctor. Avonex can help to reduce the number of relapses that you have and slow down the disabling effects of MS. Your doctor will advise you for how long you can use Avonex or when to stop. How AVONEX works Multiple sclerosis is linked to nerve (brain or spinal cord) damage. In MS, your body s defence system reacts against its own myelin the insulation that surrounds nerve fibres. When myelin is damaged, the messages between the brain and other parts of the body are disrupted. This is what causes the symptoms of MS. Avonex seems to work by stopping your body s defence system from attacking the myelin.</p></div>

When you are ready to inject, carefully follow the instructions in section 7 How to inject AVONEX , at the end of this leaflet. This is to reduce the risk of injection site reactions. Talk to your doctor if you have any of these conditions, or if they worsen whilst taking Avonex. Blood clots in the small blood vessels may occur during your treatment. These blood clots could affect your kidneys. This might happen several weeks to several years after starting Avonex. Your doctor may want to check your blood pressure, blood (platelet count) and the function of your kidneys. Tell your doctor you are using Avonex:</h2><p>If you are having a blood test. Avonex may interfere with the results. (Notes information) Sometimes you will need to remind other medical staff that you are being treated with Avonex. For example, if you are prescribed other medicines, or if you have a blood test, Avonex may affect the other medicines or the test result. Paediatric population Avonex is not recommended for use in children and adolescents because there is limited data on the use of Avonex in this population. Avonex should not be used in children below 10 years of age because it is yet to be established whether it would work for them and whether it would be safe. Other medicines and AVONEX Tell your doctor if you are using, have recently used or might use any other medicines, especially those used to treat epilepsy or depression. Avonex may affect other medicines or be affected by them. This includes any other medicines including medicines obtained without a prescription. Pregnancy and breast-feeding If you are pregnant, think you may be pregnant or are planning to have a baby, ask your doctor or pharmacist for advice before taking this medicine. No harmful effects on the breastfed newborn/infant are anticipated. Avonex can be used during breast- feeding. Driving and using machines If you feel dizzy, do not drive. Avonex makes some people feel dizzy. If this happens to you, or if you get any other side effects that could affect your ability, do not drive or use machines.

<div xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"><p>The recommended weekly dose One injection of Avonex, once a week. Try to use Avonex at the same time on the same day each week. If you have decided to start treatment with Avonex, your doctor may provide you with an Avostartclip titration kit. The Avostartclip attaches to the syringe and enables you to gradually increase your dose of Avonex when you first start treatment. This is to limit flu-like symptoms which some people experience when they start using Avonex. Your doctor or nurse will help you use the Avostartclip titration kit. (Notes information) Starting Avonex If you are new to Avonex, your doctor may advise you to gradually increase your dose so that you can adjust to the effects of Avonex before taking the full dose. You will be provided with an Avostartclip titration kit. Avostartclips can be attached onto the syringe enabling a reduced dose of Avonex to be injected at the start of treatment. Each Avostartclip should be used once and then discarded along with any remaining Avonex. For further details on use, speak with your doctor.<br/>Injecting yourself You can inject Avonex yourself without the help of your doctor, if they have trained you to do this. The instructions on how to inject yourself are at the end of this leaflet (see section 7, How to inject AVONEX). If you have trouble handling the syringe, ask your doctor who may be able to help. (Notes information) There are more details on how to inject Avonex at the end of this leaflet. Alternate needle: Your pack of Avonex already includes a needle for injection. It may be possible for your doctor to prescribe you a shorter and thinner needle, depending on your body type. Talk to your doctor to see if this is appropriate for you. If you have problems handling the syringe, talk to your doctor about using a syringe grip. This is a specially designed holder to help you with injecting Avonex. How long to use AVONEX Your doctor will tell you how long you need to keep using Avonex. It is important to continue using Avonex regularly. Do not make changes unless your doctor tells you. If you inject more than you should You should only have one injection of Avonex, once a week. If you have used more than one injection of Avonex in a three-day period, contact your doctor or pharmacist straight away for advice. If you miss an injection If you miss your usual weekly dose, inject a dose as soon as you can. Then leave a week before using Avonex again. Continue injecting on this new day every week. If you have a preferred day for using Avonex, talk to your doctor about managing the dose, to get back to your preferred day. Do not use two injections to make up for a missed injection.</p></div>

These symptoms are not really flu You can t pass it on to anyone else. They are more common when you first start using Avonex. Your doctor may provide you with an Avostartclip titration kit which enables you to gradually increase your dose at the start of treatment to help limit flu-like symptoms. As you keep using your injections, the flu-like symptoms gradually decrease. Children (10 years of age and above) and adolescents In clinical trials, some side effects were reported more frequently in children and adolescents than in adults, e.g., muscle pain, pain in extremity, fatigue, and joint pain.
