Benefits of Avonex Injection
In Multiple sclerosis (MS)
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a disease of the brain and spinal cord in which a personโs own immune system attacks the protective sheath (called myelin) of the nerves. This leads to symptoms such as vision loss, pain, fatigue and improper coordination. AVONEX 30 MCG INJECTION helps to suppress the bodyโs immune system, thereby reducing the progression of the disease. It reduces the inflammation of the damaged nerves, prevents further damage and stabilises your immune system. This medicine is given as an injection by a doctor or nurse and should not be self-administered. Follow your doctorโs instructions carefully to get the best results.
