Multiple Sclerosis (MS) Drugs

Rebif ®  Unknowns

(interferon beta-1a)

 

Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease (CJD)

 
Rebif ® contains albumin, a derivative of human blood.

Based on effective donor screening and product manufacturing processes, it carries an extremely remote risk for transmission of viral diseases.

A theoretical risk for transmission of Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) also is considered extremely remote.

No cases of transmission of viral diseases or CJD have ever been identified for albumin.
