Benefits of Relibeta Injection

In Multiple sclerosis (MS)

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a disease of the brain and spinal cord in which a person’s own immune system attacks the protective sheath (called myelin) of the nerves. This leads to symptoms such as vision loss, pain, fatigue and improper coordination. Relibeta Injection helps to suppress the body’s immune system, thereby reducing the progression of the disease. It reduces the inflammation of the damaged nerves, prevents further damage and stabilises your immune system. This medicine is given as an injection by a doctor or nurse and should not be self-administered. Follow your doctor’s instructions carefully to get the best results.
