User Reviews for Betaseron subcutaneous

Marrige,Familg and Relapsing MS

DX. in 2003 started on betaseron side effects got to be to much stoped after 4 years. flu like symptoms along with bleeding problems, nose bleeds ect. injection site reactions includes redness, swelling, bruising very sore.

I was hesitant to start this medication and did not like the idea of injections. Have to say I've had very few problems and am in much better shape than I was before--only one very minor relapse in over 3 years. A few side effects have occurred but nothing I can't deal with. You have to take the med as directed and take care of yourself in other aspects of your life, too!

I do not like the new application system. The syringe comes apart from the vial. I have had so much trouble. One day I had to use 3 packages before one worked. I preferred the old system

Well, I've just been started on this medication... And have only done four injections so far!! I was a bit nervous at first about having to give myself injections. But, my Beta Nurse visit to my home was a wonderful experience! She was very very helpful and guided me through everything. She was very imformational... I would have never gotten through it with out her!! I'm doing well on my injections and hoping for the best! "Thanks Dana" So, so far my experience with this treatment has been a success........As for the effectiveness of if it has worked for me, I guess I'm just not sure yet! Again, I've only been using it for, four injections so far!!! But, very eager to get some relief!!!Read More Read Less

i have been injecting this now for 4 years and i have not had a relapse since, but i find the new way of mixing it quite stressful air bubbles get trapped and it is prone to falling apart.

I was diagnosed in 2007 and was put on this therapy.I had weight loss,injection site reations. my white cell count and hyb. went down and i had two relapes. my body never went into remission. so in 2008 i was taken off of it. the drug is easy to use and you only have to use it every other day so it wasn't that bad. The doctors and i are still deciding on what therapy to use now. But all i can say is make sure you do lots of reserch before picking a therapy. good luck to everyone

i am an ms patient 4 nearly 19yrs now. my doc is telling me 2 use betaseron but this drug is not yet available in the philippines. i can not find any links that would possibly lead me into. can webmd possibly help? thank you.

Have been using Betaseron for 11 years. In that time I have had no new symptoms and only very mild symptoms that were present before Betaseron usage. Bladder problems have increased slightly.

I have been taking Betaseron since 1996 and I have only had 3 relapses of MS. It has been wonderful and I strongly recommend treatment with Betaseron. It has kept me walking.

I GIVE MYSELF A SUB Q INJECTION EVERY OTHER DAY. SO FAR, AFTER 10 YEARS, I HAVE NOT EXPERIENCED ANY PROBLEMS FROM THE INJECTIONS. I HAVE TO ASSUME IT IS SLOWING DOWN THE PROGRESSION OF MY SECONDARY PRORESSIVE M.S.

This drug has been wonderful. However i do experience some brusing and knots at injection sites. I weigh 115 lbs and dont have much fat to inject it into. They are very tender at times.

I HAVENT FELT DECENT SINCE I WAS DIAGINOSED AND STARTED ON IT IN JULY 07

Using the medicine and mixing them medicine is very easy. Everything stays together as long as I take my time. I do get little bubbles but all I have to do is wait a little longer and they will go back up into the medicine jar. I think this new way of mixing the medicine is great. All everyone has to do is take their time.
