I was switched to Tysabri and I still have 3 doses of Avonex in my fridge. It doesn't expire til July and I hate to throw away such expensive drugs. I aske the neuro what to do with it, she told me that I should ask people I know if they want it and if not bring it to her office staff.

If anyone can use it I'd be happy to pass it along. Thanks!!
That would be awesome for someone! I know my copay is nothing compared to what it could be. It did go from $50/month in 2008 to $100/mo in 2009 because Avonex is no longer on the Preferred Formulary. That's $600 more a year, so $1200. I know, I know.... at least I have insurance.

I never found out WHY Avonex was no longer on the Preferred Formulary.... anyone know?
