In addition, regular checks of your blood cell counts, liver function tests and thyroid function tests will be performed. These are performed at 1, 3 and 6 months following commencement of the medication also.
After four years your doctor will decide if it is worthwhile continuing the treatment. You should always use Rebif as prescribed by your doctor as they will know what is best for you personally. Do not stop using Rebif or change the dose without consulting your doctor.
