Betaseron® (interferon beta-1b) is a prescription drug used for the treatment of multiple sclerosis (MS). It is part of a group of medications known as interferons. As with other interferons, Betaseron must be given by injection. It is administered subcutaneously (just under the skin) every other day.
Before receiving a Betaseron injection, make sure your healthcare provider has up-to-date information on any other drugs you are taking (including vitamins and supplements), as well as any allergies you may have, including to medications, foods, dyes, or preservatives. Also, let your healthcare provider know if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.
