امرأة عمرها ٣٠ سنة عندها تصلب متعدد انتكاسي، بدأت حقن الإنترفيرون تحت الجلد قبل أسبوعين. تشتكي حرارة وآلام عضلات وقشعريرة لساعات بعد كل حقنة، وتفكر بالتوقف. ما النصيحة التي تساعد؟

A 30-year-old woman with relapsing MS started subcutaneous interferon injections two weeks ago. She reports fever, muscle aches and chills for hours after each injection and is considering stopping. Which advice helps?

1. Double the dose so she adapts faster
2. Stop the drug permanently because this is an allergy
3. Inject in the evening with an analgesic-antipyretic as instructed
4. Inject into the same site every time

Answer: C) Inject in the evening with an analgesic-antipyretic as instructed. Flu-like symptoms are common with interferon and lessen over time. Evening injections with paracetamol or ibuprofen help, sites are rotated, and liver tests and blood counts monitored.
