Is this good switch? What are the experiences others have had with the prefilled Syringes.
Hi Penny Lane,
I have been on Avonex for years and always, except for a brief period, been on the powered form. When trying the premixed I got quite fatigued as a side-effect. With the powered form I have no side effects at all. Its not clear why, since they both contain the same interferon beta-1a. So I much prefer the powered form.

I was not aware there was an injector for Avonex?
I know some are fearfull of the long needle. But really its "no big deal" once you get used to it.
Oh well, best of luck in your Avonex journey?

- Roy
