What is Plegridy?

Plegridy contains the prescription medicine peginterferon beta 1-a which is made from human proteins. Peginterferon is a type of interferon. Interferons tell your immune system that you have an infection or disease and to fight against it.

Plegridy is used for the treatment of relapsing forms of multiple sclerosis (MS) including clinically isolated syndrome, relapsing-remitting disease, and active secondary progressive disease in adults who are aged between 18 to 65. Plegridy will decrease how often your symptoms of MS will occur, but will not cure it.

Plegridy active ingredients

How Plegridy works for the treatment of multiple sclerosis is not fully understood. Plegridy is injected under the skin or into a muscle, normally once every 2 weeks. A healthcare professional will show you how to use the medication yourself. You should use a different place each time you have an injection and not inject it into the same place two times in a row. Follow the instructions given to you by your doctor. Plegridy can cause flu-like symptoms so you may take a pain reliever or fever reducer such as ibuprofen on the days you have your injection. You will need regular medical checkups while you are using this medication.
