Rebif Question

Generally how long does one bottle of rebif last? I found out I will have to pay 40 dollars for a one month supply, just curious

I am not aware that Rebif comes in bottles, I have only received pre-filled hypodermics. They are in packets that you separate and you get enough hypos to last a month. The hypos are disposable - you will need to dispose of them properly, not in your normal garbage.

Ditto to LilMargie

Ask the chemist for a sharps container for your syringes

My husband is also on Rebif; comes in pre-filled needles; and the cost is definitely more than $40! His cost $2,000 a month (thank heavens for a good benefits plan).

Yes I am very thankful for good health insurance, if it were 2,000 I would not be able to take the meds, 40 dollars is alot of money to me. LOL
