Interferon beta-1a Subcutaneous Injection
Rebif® Logo
Brand name(s): Rebif®
What special precautions should I follow?
Before using interferon beta-1a,
- tell your doctor and pharmacist if you are allergic to interferon beta-1a, any other interferon product, any other medications, or human albumin.
- tell your doctor and pharmacist what other prescription and nonprescription medications, vitamins, nutritional supplements, and herbal products you are taking. Be sure to mention any of the following: acetaminophen (Tylenol, others); antidepressants; azathioprine (Imuran); cancer chemotherapy medications; carbamazepine (Tegretol); chloramphenicol (Chloromycetin); cholesterol-lowering medications (statins); cyclosporine (Neoral, Sandimmune); gold compounds such as auranofin (Ridaura) and aurothioglucose (Solganol); heparin; iron products; isoniazid (INH, Nydrazid); medications for acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) or human immunodeficiency virus (HIV); methotrexate (Rheumatrex); niacin (nicotinic acid); penicillamine (Cuprimine, Depen); phenytoin (Dilantin, Phenytek); rifampin (Rifadin, Rimactane); sirolimus (Rapamune); sulfa antibiotics such as sulfamethoxazole (Bactrim, Septra) and sulfisoxazole (Gantrisin); thyroid medications; and tacrolimus (Prograf). Your doctor may need to change the doses of your medications or monitor you carefully for side effects.
- tell your doctor if you drink or have ever drunk large amounts of alcohol and if you have or have ever had AIDS or HIV; an autoimmune disease (a disease in which the body attacks its own cells; ask your doctor if you are not sure if you have this type of disease); blood problems such as anemia (low red blood cells) or easy bruising or bleeding; anxiety, depression, or mental illness; cancer; seizures; or kidney, liver, or thyroid disease.
- tell your doctor if you are pregnant, plan to become pregnant, or are breast-feeding. If you become pregnant while taking interferon beta-1a, call your doctor immediately.
- if you are having surgery, including dental surgery, tell the doctor or dentist you are using interferon beta-1a.
- ask your doctor about the safe use of alcoholic beverages while you are using interferon beta-1a. Alcohol can make the side effects of interferon beta-1a worse.
- you should know that you may have flu-like symptoms such as headache, fever, chills, sweating, muscle aches, back pain, and tiredness that last for a day after your injection. Your doctor may tell you to take an over-the-counter pain and fever medication to help with these symptoms. These symptoms usually improve or go away over time. Talk to your doctor if these symptoms last longer than the first few months of therapy, or if they are difficult to manage or become severe.

swollen ankles
I'm hoping that other folks having edema (water retention/swelling of the ankles/feet) are going in to their MDs to have this checked out. I have been on a beta-blocker (pindolol) for 6 months. I'm 43 years old and newly diagnosed with slight hypertension. My MD told me to watch out for signs of edema, and report them as soon as they occur. Last night when I noticed this swelling, I talked to an advise nurse @ my HMO and she was insistent that I go to Urgent Care. The concern was for the development of pulmonary edema (fluid in the lungs) which signal congestive heart failure. While the MD *did* hear the 'squeaks' indicative of fluid in the lungs, subsequent chest x-ray revealed nothing problematic. I was advised to promptly consult with my primary care MD to switch OFF the beta blocker (which slows the heart and causes it to be less efficient... evidenced by the edema).

swollen ankles
I'm taking Amlodipine for a while. When I first started to thake this drug I had getting swollen ankless but since my doc put me on HCTZ, I no longer have this symptoms.
I used to take atenolol but since I need to receive allergy shots, I could no longer take beta blockers so had to switch to a different drug for boold presure. No other problems about this drug.
Be sure to talk with your doctor about it!

Production of Trazadone
See answer above. That is how I arrived at this board. But I don't get it. This might not be the manufacturer? Perhaps we need to research Pharmaceutical World or trazodone + .com.
Trazodone is the generic name for desyrel.
I think the drug is so old that whoever manufactured desyrel doesn't anymore as I did enter desyrel + .com and came up with nothing using MSN search. Hmm......
But do check out this cool link which I found here (!) too regarding all generic drugs:
