3.1 THERAPEUTIC INDICATIONS
Rebif is indicated for the treatment of relapsing multiple sclerosis.
In clinical trials, this was characterised by two or more acute

ongoing relapse activity (_see_ _section 4.1 Pharmacodynamic
properties_).
3.2 POSOLOGY AND METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION
Treatment should be initiated under supervision of a physician
experienced in the treatment of the disease.
For patients initiating treatment with Rebif, Rebif 22 micrograms is
available in a pack that corresponds to

Rebif 22 micrograms, also given three times per week by subcutaneous
injection, is recommended for

specialist.
