Timeline
Interventions
Subjects, currently on Rebif® 44 mcg three times a week, using Rebiject II as an injection device and having received Rebif® full dose 44 mcg three times a week for at least 6 months, receives systematically 400 mg ibuprofen as prophylactic treatment against flu-like symptoms on days when Rebif New Formulation 44 mcg three times a week is injected
Subjects, currently on Rebif® 44 mcg three times a week, using Rebiject II as an injection device and having received Rebif® full dose 44 mcg three times a week for at least 6 months, should not administer Ibuprofen before the first Rebif New Formulation injection. If flu-like symptoms occur after the 44 mcg Rebif New Formulation injection then the subject can administer 400 mg ibuprofen. This should only be administered after the Rebif New Formulation injection and not before the Rebif New Formulation injection.
