How much time doe it take for rebiff injections to work on patients suffering from ms, not trigerring the attacks?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Over time: The effect is shown over time. Months and years. The attacks are reduced by about 40% over the years on rebif. It's not like an antibiotic, or a seizure medication that has to build up in the blood before it becomes effective.

Should start rapidly: Would suspect full benefit from Rebif within a few weeks after starting, but if your MS has continued to deteriorate, and you are having relapses, and it has been 4-6 months, this is NOT the drug for you. See your neurologist ASAP, as there are 9 choices, and you might do better on an alternative intervention. Also, supplement Vitamin D-3!!
