Hello,

Does anyone know if it is possible to keep medical Class 1 if you take AVONEX medication for MS(one injection per week).

Thank"s for the answers and all the best to everybody !

Avonex is an "Interferon" drug. Unfortunately it MAY have significant side effects, and you will not be allowed a Class 1 medical, certainly in the short term. Things do change though and the "medical goalposts" keep shifting. There is a lady F15 captain flying in the US Air Force with MS.
