Interferon delays multiple sclerosis

In some people who show early-warning signs of multiple sclerosis, the drug interferon-beta-1a seems to delay or even prevent the disease from becoming full-blown, researchers report in the Sept. 28 New England Journal of Medicine.

The signs of multiple sclerosis (MS) can include blurry vision, dizziness, loss of coordination, bladder problems, and numbness in the face, lower trunk, or limbs.
