Absorption
Following every other day subcutaneous administration of Betaseron 0.25mg, biologic response marker levels (neopterin, β2- microglobulin, MxA protein, and the immunosuppressive cytokine, IL-10) increased significantly above baseline 6-12 hours after the first dose. Biologic response marker levels peaked between 40 and 124 hours and remained elevated above baseline throughout the 7-day (168-hour) study. The relationship between serum interferon beta-1b levels or induced biologic response marker levels and the clinical effects of interferon beta-1b in multiple sclerosis is unknown.
