Avonex for Multiple Sclerosis. Avonex, a formulation of interferon beta-1a, is an injectable medication from Biogen approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for patients with relapsing forms of multiple sclerosis (MS) who have had a first attack and show lesions on an MRI. Avonex injections help reduce the number of flare-ups and MS disease progression. How Avonex Works. Interferon beta-1a, the active ingredient in Avonex, is a protein found naturally in the body. It is a signaling molecule produced by cells and is used for communication.
People with RRMS usually make their treatment decisions based on their doctorâs advice and experience with similar patients, as well as concerns about convenience, side effects and cost. 1  Avonex is also FDA-approved for use in people who have had one attack, which is suspected to be MS, but does not meet all diagnostic criteria.
