Dear AVONEX user,

Your life with the #1 prescribed MS therapy—AVONEX (Interferon beta-1a)—has just been made a little easier thanks
to a new luer lock syringe. AVONEX luer lock Prefilled Syringes are designed to give you added protection. Now you
can feel even more confident about taking the #1 prescribed MS therapy in the world.

AVONEX luer lock Prefilled Syringes have a yellow sticker on the outside of the packaging that reads,
“NEW SYRINGE AND PATIENT STORAGE CONDITIONS.”

Please take a moment to review the information below.





The old luer slip has been replaced on all AVONEX Prefilled Syringes with a new
luer lock. The new luer lock secures the syringe to the needle for added protection.

Please see below for instructions on how to use the new luer lock. For complete
instructions on how to prepare and inject AVONEX, see the patient
Medication Guide at www.AVONEX.com.



Hold the AVONEX Prefilled
Syringe upright, with the
cap pointing up. Remove
the cap by bending it at a
90° angle until it snaps off.


Open the package with the
needle. Attach the needle by
pressing it onto the syringe.
Be careful not to push the
plunger while attaching
the needle.
Turn the needle clockwise until
it locks in place. If the needle is
not firmly attached to the syringe,
it may leak and you may not get
your full dose of AVONEX.

PLEASE SEE THE AVONEX PATIENT MEDICATION GUIDE FOR COMPLETE INSTRUCTIONS.
