Copaxone injector2 for glass syringe

[Tulip77]

I loaded the shot, followed the directions and pressed the button. Nothing happened. I don’t know what I did wrong. I carefully took the syringe out and manually injected my left hip with my left hand (I’m right handed). I can’t reach my left hip with my right hand to inject manually. I will do it manually all the time from now on.

I don’t even feel the shot with the automated injector.

though I would never think so manually injecting was easier, and I always injected into fat.

Did that a few times when on copaxone. Was usually pilot error on my fault loading it wrong. One time didn’t take cap off 🤣😳😜 Good luck 👍 b Ken 🐾🐾

There are a few steps to using the Autoject, and it's easy to forgot one. I don't know which model you have, but there are some videos which may help you figure out if you forgot one step.

I have had that happen to me before; sometimes my own fault and sometimes the autoinjector was faulty or going bad. Called Shared Solutions and they were always happy to send me a new one with an paid shipping return evelope to send the old one back so they could investigate what went wrong.

I can try to go through it to see if it helps I was on it for a long time back when you had to mix your files together crazy huh

[palomino27]

Maybe not pressing it down hard enough into the skin so the safety disengaged?

i had this happen several times and what had happened was that i forgot to take cap off of the syringe before loading it into the injector and it will not work with the cap on...good luck ...

It's possible the cap was on or it was loaded wrong. I would recommend asking your doc to send a nurse to review proper injection with you again.

i don't have caps on my syringes, from Teva, there's a cap on the auto-injector...the red/orange cap that gets rotated to the correct level...6,7,8 whichever.

Sometimes it just doesn't work. My hands shake too much to inject without the injector. Makes me very aangry when the auto-injector doesn't work. End up wasting the syringe.
