Experiences with

Glatiramer

The US FDA is adding a boxed warning to Copaxone / glatopa / glatiramer acetate regarding possible anaphylactic reactions.

Had to switch from Copaxone 40 MG (8 years) to the generic version from Mylan. My neurologist has always helped me stay on Copaxone but recently my insurance said I had to try the generic. I’m not a fan of the new whisperjet autoinjector, so I’m just going to do manual injections from now on. I hope

Standard FDA-approved medications for MS (for example interferons, glatiramer acetate, fingolimod) have not been proven useful in slowing the progression of PPMS. Ocrelizumab is the first FDA-approved medicine for primary progressive MS. It appears to slow the progression of disability.

I had done the Copaxone/Glatiramer acetate injections for a short time but they were self contained. I had no instruction other than YouTube. Any advice? Assuming I'll be squeezing belly fat to do it....thoughts, direction, advice? Any videos you can recommend?

I started taking glatiramer acetate (3 times a week) 2 months ago, and I'm eager to rotate my injection sites to avoid permanent damage. The booklet I was given with my injector shows the front of the thighs, the belly area, the back of the arms, and the upper sides of the butt.

I'm new to the site, and also fairly new to taking glatiramer acetate (which I've been doing for a little over 2 months), and I've got a question about how best to inject it.

Hi my name is Rocio 29years old, diagnosed since 2007, I’m in treatment with Acetato de glatiramer for almost a year now, because I’m trying to get pregnant...

So this week I am starting on Mylan’s Glatiramer Acetate Injection 40 mg/mL, which is generic for copaxone. Is anyone else taking this? What was it like in the beginning and how are you tolerating it? This is my first treatment as I was only diagnosed March of this year.

I’m starting Mylan’s Glatiramer Acetate 3x a week shots and want to know if they have an autoject pen for the syringes? I just got the Rx and I was given the Glatopa pen by accident. Glatopa and Glatiramer Acetate are from two different manufacturers.

There are currently multiple generic versions of the Glatiramer Acetate injection available, and insurers have made many patients switch off Copaxone on onto generics.

Here is an excerpt from MSAA's article on this latest MS treatment news: "On February 13, 2018, Sandoz, a Novartis division, announced that the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved Glatopa® (glatiramer acetate injection) at a three-times weekly 40-mg dose.

Serum NfL levels were higher for patients starting natalizumab and rituximab compared with those starting interferon, glatiramer acetate, and fingolimod. The levels decreased over time with all of these treatments.
