Introduction to Relibeta 30mcg Injection
Relibeta 30mcg injection injections contain the active substance Interferon beta-1a, which is classified as an immunomodulator.

This medication is utilized to treat relapsing forms of multiple sclerosis, an autoimmune condition impacting the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord).Â
It is not recommended to use Relibeta 30mcg injection in children and adolescents due to limited data on its effectiveness and safety in this age group, especially in children below ten years old.

Report any mood changes, suicidal thoughts, or worsening of existing conditions to your doctor. Transparent communication with your doctor about your medical history and medications is crucial for the safe use of Relibeta 30mcg injection.

- Multiple sclerosis
Therapeutic Effects of Relibeta 30mcg Injection
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is the nerve damage in the brain and spinal cord. In this condition, the body's immune system mistakenly attacks its myelin, the protective covering around nerve fibers. When myelin is damaged, the link between the brain and other body parts is disrupted, leading to MS symptoms. Relibeta 30mcg injection operates by inhibiting the immune system's attack on myelin. By doing so, it diminishes the frequency and intensity of relapses and hinders the progression of disability in individuals with multiple sclerosis.
