Interferon Betas

Copaxone (glatiramer acetate) is an immunomodulator used to reduce the frequency of relapses in patients with multiple sclerosis (MS). It is not an interferon, but may be grouped with interferon betas Avonex and Betaseron; together the three first-line treatments are sometimes known as the "ABC" drugs for MS. The exact mechanism of action of Copaxone in patients with MS is unknown. A generic form of glatiramer acetate is also available under the name Glatopa, but only for the once-daily injection.

INTERFERON BETA-1b treats multiple sclerosis (MS). It works by slowing down an overactive immune system, which prevents or delays worsening symptoms. It also decreases the number of flare-ups.

Avonex (interferon beta-1a) helps to decrease the number of multiple sclerosis attacks and to slow physical disability in people with relapsing forms of the disease. The medicine does not cure multiple sclerosis. Avonex is more popular than comparable drugs. There are currently no generic alternatives for Avonex.
