Multiple Sclerosis

Depression, suicidal ideation, and suicide attempts have been reported to occur with increased frequency in patients receiving interferon compounds.

Multiple Sclerosis (MS) Drugs

Rebif ®  Side Effects

(interferon beta-1a)

 

Pregnancy

 
Rebif ® has been associated with significant increases in spontaneous abortion in animal studies given two times the equivalent human dose.

Although there are no adequate and well-controlled studies of Rebif ® in pregnant women, during initial pre-marketing studies of Rebif ®, 2 spontaneous abortions were observed and 5 fetuses carried to term among 7 women in the study groups.

Should a woman become pregnant or plan to become pregnant while taking Rebif ®, she should be informed or the potential risk to the fetus and discontinuation of Rebif ® therapy considered.
