The International
Society for Interferon and Cytokine Research (ISICR)
provides information on interferons as a public
service. To the best of our knowledge the
information is accurate but it is not meant to
and must not substitute for the advice of your
personnel physician. Interferon is
considered a black box drug by the FDA because
the use of interferon may be accompanied by
serious side effects. If you are anticipating
beginning treatment with interferon, read the
information provided by the pharmaceutical
company from which your interferon was obtained
carefully. If you experience any side effects
upon receiving
interferon, including depression, discuss these
effects with your physician immediately. The
ISICR does not recommend any particular form of
interferon and cannot be held liable for any
consequences that may result due to the use of
interferon in any clinical situation.
