Before starting to use the Avonex Syringe Kit, it's important to read the Medication Guide and Instructions for Use provided by your pharmacist. If you have any questions, ask your doctor or pharmacist for clarification.

If you're using the Avonex Syringe Kit at home, make sure to learn all the preparation and usage instructions from your healthcare professional. Before using, check the product visually for any particles or discoloration. If you notice either, do not use the liquid. Be sure to learn how to store and safely discard the medical supplies.

For increased comfort, remove the medication from the refrigerator and let it warm to room temperature for about 30 minutes before injecting. Do not warm it up in any other way, such as heating in the microwave or placing it in hot water.

The Avonex Syringe Kit is usually injected into a muscle once a week, as directed by your doctor. It's best to use this medication near bedtime to reduce any potential side effects.

Before injecting each dose, clean the injection site with rubbing alcohol. Change the injection site each time to lessen injury and do not inject into skin that is red, sore, scarred, or infected. If you are using the prefilled syringe, inject the medication into the thigh or upper arm as directed by your doctor. If you are using the autoinjector, inject into the upper outer thigh as directed. Be sure to inform your doctor of any skin reactions that do not go away after a few days.

The dosage of the Avonex Syringe Kit is based on your medical condition and response to treatment. To reduce your risk of side effects, your doctor may direct you to start at a low dose and gradually increase. Use the medication regularly on the same day each week to get the most benefit from it.

If your condition worsens, be sure to inform your doctor.
