What is Betaseron?

Betaseron contains the prescription medicine interferon beta-1b. Interferon beta-1b is made from human proteins and helps your body to fight against viral infections.

Betaseron is used to help reduce the number of relapses of multiple sclerosis (MS) in people who have a relapsing form of it. This includes people who have already had their first symptoms of multiple sclerosis and have had an MRI scan consistent with multiple sclerosis. Betaseron will not cure multiple sclerosis but will reduce how often the symptoms occur.

Betaseron is given as a subcutaneous injection under the skin. Your doctor will decide your exact dose, but it is normally given every other day. You should not use the same injection site for each injection. You will need regular medical tests while using this medicine.
