Staying on AVONEX

Once you understand your relapsing multiple sclerosis (MS) treatment plan and have learned how to take your medication, you've reached your first MS milestone. With the advice of your healthcare provider and the support of family and friends, you can now begin the process of managing your MS. And with once-weekly AVONEX dosing, you'll spend less time thinking about taking your medication and more time living your life.
