Rebif is manufactured from one of the naturally-occurring interferons.

Rebif is currently available in a 44 microgram (mcg) dose in pre-filled syringes ready for subcutaneous injection.

Rebif should be stored in the refrigerator. Storage at room temperature without exposure to heat or light is permissible for up to 30 days, but the medication should not be allowed to freeze.

Flu-like symptoms are a fairly common side effect during the initial weeks of treatment, so it is recommended that the injection be given at bedtime. Your doctor may prescribe medications to decrease these side effects.
