Neurol 52:1893-1895, Rice,G.P.A.,et al, 1999
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
Flu-like symptoms and injection site reactions are adverse effects of treatment with interferon Beta-1b in patients with MS. We compared gradual dose escalation, ibuprofen treatment, or their combination in an open-label study. The combin ation reduced the incidence of flu-like symptoms to rates comparable with the placebo group in the pivotal trial but increased the frequency of injection site reactions, albeit modestly and transiently.
