Me too. What's up with this thing called Avonex ps? Never knew there was a different one.

Is it like "Hey you on Avonex, PS: It still hurts!"?

From what I read after Googling Avonex PS is that it is a trade name in Canada. It occurred to me when they were describing it that it was a 'prefilled syringe' therefore PS vs the old fashioned powder.

Help MAXimizing INTERFERON-Beta effectiveness

I found the AVONEX PS to cause MORE side effects from the drug and switched back to the powder form you mix yourself.

The AVONEX PS does make it a lot easier to give yourself the shot.

I have posted some interesting stuff about MMP-9s & MS & Interferon betas on BRAINTALK. It is a bit medical techie but ALL MS folks should be aware of this relationship especially the folks taking ANY interferon beta drug.

The title is "MAXimizing INTERFERON-Beta effectiveness"...

p.s. DO NOT PANIC!! IT CONTAINS SOME BIG WORDS!!!
