How can I obtain training for AVONEX in a prefilled syringe?
If you are interested in receiving training on how to administer injections of AVONEX in a prefilled syringe, please call MS ActiveSource at 1-800-456-2255. Q: The patient Medication Guide that comes with my package of AVONEX states that the prefilled syringe cap contains dry natural rubber, which may cause allergic reactions. If I know that I am allergic to latex, will I also be allergic to dry natural rubber? A: People who are allergic to latex may or may not be allergic to dry natural rubber. You should tell your doctor about your latex allergy and discuss natural rubber sensitivity since the AVONEX prefilled syringe cap contains dry natural rubber, which may cause allergic reactions. Although the prefilled syringe cap does not contain latex, please discuss natural rubber sensitivity with your doctor. We will continue to work with people who are allergic to dry natural rubber and with their healthcare providers to find a solution.
