Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
My fiancée was diagnosed with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis about three months ago, and she was started on weekly Relibeta injections. She’s doing well right now; she has no symptoms and seems perfectly fine.
How long is it typically safe to continue using Relibeta?
Please help.
Thank you.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
Relibeta (Interferon Beta-1a) is a disease-modifying therapy used to reduce the frequency of relapses in relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis. It’s generally safe to use long-term and can be continued for many years if well-tolerated.
That said, monitoring specific health markers while on this medication is essential. Regular blood tests, such as a complete blood count (CBC) and liver function tests (LFTs), are recommended to ensure no side effects or complications from ongoing treatment.
I hope this helps.
Kindly revert so I can assist you further.
Thank you.
