Avonex and antibiotics

Hi all - has anyone who uses Avonex been advised on whether you can take antibiotics at the same time? I've just been prescribed antibiotics for a skin infection. I was going to ask my MS nurse rather than the GP as I didn't expect my GP to know much about Avonex, but have been trying all day to get through without any success. Am keen to start the antibiotics but am also due for an Avonex injection today, so am not sure what to do now! Thanks in advance if anyone can help.

@lm85 , give Biogen a call and ask them the question. They should know the answer as they make Avonex:- UK: 0800 008 7401 Email: [email protected]

Thank you @stumbler - I did actually try them before I posted and (bizarrely) they said they couldn't give safety advice for specific drug interactions! I'm astonished at how difficult it's been to get anyone to give me an answer... really appreciate your suggestion though, thank you for replying.
