Having seen the posts on this medication, I have several questions. How does this drug differ from the crab drugs? How is it administered? Is it as expensive as Avonex? What is its effectiveness? Why was it originally pulled?
Having picked up my Avonex perscription for the new calendar (perscription co pay deductible is at zero as we begin the new year), I was shocked at the price (my price, mind you): $380.00! All I could think of was, how can I continue to afford this drug every month?
I am looking for another drug which will be helpful for R/R MS, not have such yucky flu-like side effects, and be a lot cheaper. Am I asking for the moon here?
Any advice/info. would be appreciated. Once I get results from new MRI, who knows, I may be taken off the Avonex...
