Dedicated Nurse support
Therapy for people with MS is more than medication since the condition is chronic and may have an impact on your quality of life. Questions not necessarily of medical nature may arise.
When you start on your Interferon beta-1b therapy you will be offered support by a dedicated MS nurse, who can give you advice, information and support.
These experienced and dedicated nurses will also teach you how to inject your medication and help you with your every day problems. Moreover, nurses can listen and talk to you during regular visits and phone calls as well as reassure you prior to treatment and after initiation of therapy. The nurses can help build confidence, promote independence and provide realistic expectations of MS drug therapy. Because of regular visits, especially at the start of medication, initial problems and difficulties can be managed.
Waste disposal, correct storage of drugs and tips when travelling with your medication are just a few of many examples, why a personal contact with a nurse is important for people living with MS.
Many Interferon beta-1b users have found this comprehensive nurse support programme to be invaluable to them and although your doctor or MS centre will always provide you with expert medical care, your Interferon beta-1b nurse will always be available to provide support, training, and advice. For more information on these patient support programmes please contact your local Bayer Pharma AG subsidiary.
