We live near Cambridge so would like him to join a noew drug trial but has loads of side effects and can't think about having more children while on trial which is 2 years plus!.!.!.!.!. Anyone know what the deal is with Interferon!. we have an 8 month old and would like to have another soon-ish!! But don't wanna start drugs then have to wait until it is out of his system!!Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
All currently approved interferons have no real effect on sperm production that I know of!. Most of the side effects are reversible within a few days, also!. I'm not sure what this trial would be, but if it's an interferon-class compound I doubt the effects would be very different!. Interferons occur naturally in the body and when administered as a drug they have a very similar effect!.

Good luck!. And my goodness Pierre is negative!. Iterferons have a strong anti-inflammatory effect and help to control the damage to neurones!. He's right, however, that Minocin could help!. Ultimately i'd ask your GP or consultant - they're the people who have an understanding of your case and are also medically qualified specialists (I'm a biochemistry student!.!.!.)Www@Answer-Health@Com

Do you realize that Multiple sclerosis can be deadly!?

An antibiotic with a strong anti-inflammatory effect, Minocin, could help your husband!.
