Hi Sheezy.

There's no reason to ask your question multiple times. You already received some great advice on your other thread;

Please don't post multiple times, it won't change the answers you get.

I'm asking the mods to close this thread.

Thanks. :)

I have already answered your question. But in case you missed it, this is what I posted.

This is also a subcutaneous medication, not an intramuscular.




You should inject this medication on the same 3 days every week, for example, every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. The injections should be spaced at least 48 hours apart, so it is best to inject your medication around the same time of day on each of your injection days. The best time to inject this medication is in the late afternoon or evening.

Found here... PubMed Health - Interferon beta-1a Subcutaneous Injection

Also, I have bolded the primary answer to your question...




You can inject interferon beta-1a in areas of your body with a layer of fat between the skin and muscle, such as your thigh, the outer surface of your upper arms, your stomach, or your buttocks. If you are very thin, only inject in your thigh or the outer surface of your arm for injection. Use a different spot for each injection.

The injection I take is different from the 1 you are talking about.I take I once a week.It is a 30 mcg prefilled syringe.

Thank you for clearing that up. The answer remains the same though. You must rotate sites with each injection.
