WHAT BETAFERON IS
USED FOR
Betaferon belongs to a class of
medicines known as interferons.
Interferons are naturally occurring
proteins, produced by the body that
help fight against attacks on the
immune system such as viral
infections.
The active substance of Betaferon is
interferon beta-1b, a recombinant
human interferon beta produced
from a strain of
_Escherichia coli_
.
_HOW IT WORKS _
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a long
term condition that affects the
central nervous system (CNS) i.e.
brain and spinal cord. The exact
cause of MS is unknown. An
abnormal response by the body’s
immune system is thought to play an
important part in the process which
damages the CNS.
Betaferon has been shown to change
the response of the immune system
and to help reduce disease activity.
Single clinical event indicating high
risk of developing MS: Betaferon is
for use in patients who for the first
time have experienced symptoms
which indicate a high risk for
development of multiple sclerosis.
Your doctor will rule out any other
reasons which
