Dear friends,

a) in which country, it is on the marked for the indication "multiple
sklerose"
b) What is the price for 15 Amp 8 Mio I.E.
c) Must it be payed by the health insurance ?

Thank you for your help.

I do not have a price for you but I do know that Avonex and
Betaserone , which are apparently tradenames are available from
Biogen and Roche respectively. These are USA based companies. I hope
this info is useful and of help.
