Zusammenfassung

Für die Compliance und Akzeptanz der Interferontherapie spielen neben der klinische Wirksamkeit, die für alle drei zugelassenen Präparate ähnlich ist, weitere Faktoren eine Rolle. Dazu gehören u. a. die Darreichungsform (Fertigspritze vs. Lyophilisat), die Aufbewahrungsbedingungen (raumtemperaturstabile vs. kühlpflichtige Präparate), die Formulierung (saurer vs. neutraler pH-Wert, HSA-frei vs. HSA-haltig), der Applikationsweg (s. c. vs. i. m.) und die Art und Weise der Injektion (Verfügbarkeit von Injektionshilfen, Spezialkanülen usw.). Einige dieser Faktoren sind kürzlich modifiziert worden. In diesem Artikel geben wir eine Synopsis der Anwendungsformen der verschiedenen Interferon-β-Präparate und diskutieren die jeweiligen Vor- und Nachteile.

Summary

In addition to the clinical efficacy, which is similar for the three approved interferon-β preparations, the compliance and acceptance of interferon therapy are determined by several other factors. These include the mode of application, formulation, storing conditions, and injection methods. Some of these factors have been modified recently. In this article we provide a synopsis of the current application formats of the different interferon-β preparations, and discuss the respective advantages and drawbacks.
