Cost effectiveness
Given the morbidity and mortality associated with multiple sclerosis and the high cost of treating the acute attacks and disability of MS disease, treatment with IFN β-1a SC injection, IFNβ-1b SC injection, and glatiramer acetate is relatively cost-effective.[1] Life time treatment of multiple sclerosis patients can cost as much as 2.2 million US dollar. Acute attacks and relapses can cause 12.870 dollars if it's sever, 1.847 dollars if it's moderate and 243 dollars if it's mild. controlling this attack can reduce the burden of MS disease.
