copaxone pricing

April 14, 2008 Co-Payments Soar for Drugs With High Prices By GINA KOLATA Health insurance companies are rapidly adopting a new pricing system for very expensive drugs, asking patients to pay hundreds and even thousands of dollars for prescriptions for medications that may save their lives or slow the progress of serious diseases.

Last I heard they were working to finalize the PI and establish pricing. PI will require FDA approval, pricing is another story.

00 out of pocket. B- I know that the labs in NYS do not advertise their prices for comparative pricing. And C- Of course I will have one at 48 weeks and 6 months later if still undetectable. But what about these remaining 2 (finally!!) 2 months? What would be the standard of practice if I were still insured? Would not having 1 between 24 and 48 weeks be unwise for anything other than anxiety reduction (I wish I could buy a PCR on ebay).

Hi, I'll deal with your questions in the sequence you asked them. Can meds be helpful if lesions aren't worsening but symptoms are? DMDs (disease modifying drugs) are helpful in relapsing types of MS to help keep MRI stable and help ensure lesions and symptoms don't eventually worsen, or at least if they do, at a slower rate due to hopefully reduced rate of damage causing relapses.

Desperate to switch from viread to vemlidy due to hypertension and cholesterol issues. Pricing still quite high. Anyone know if cheaper generics are now available and how one can access?

t go away after being off the Copaxone we decided the two were unrelated and I started taking Copaxone again, last night was my first injection after the break. My question is - last night I woke up feeling like I had the flu, I was sweating, ached all over and had a massive headache. I know these are side effects of the interferons but has anyone had this while on Copaxone? I had no reaction like this the first few weeks I took Copaxone.

//www.ehealthme.com/ds/copaxone/hallucinations,+mixed "On Aug, 31, 2013: 9,277 people reported to have side effects when taking Copaxone. Among them, 5 people (0.05%) have Hallucinations, Mixed." the most recent was one person in 2011. It would be difficult to prove hallucinations were a side effect of copaxone, based on those very small numbers. There are no withdrawal symptoms from going off copaxopne.

) im not sure pricing for uk i live in florida but if the pricing is decent id say go for it :)

market, will be more expensive than injectable competitors such as Biogen Idec Inc.’s Avonex, Merck KGaA’s Rebif and Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd.’s Copaxone, which cost between about $2,800 and $3,200, for a standard month’s supply, according to the Web site destinationrx.com. “Gilenya pricing is based on the value it will deliver patients, the scientific innovation it represents and our investment in studies to support the product,” Althoff said. The U.S.

because this study, like many others, was supported by the drug co. that developed, produces, markets and distributes Copaxone. So I guess we take the info with a grain of salt, and hope that the study was designed appropriately and objectively, and that results are reported accurately and ethically. If so, and the encouraging results are repeated in future studies, then it really would be great news for Copaxone users.

I have never heard of this side effect from copaxone and not sure how it could effect your cycle. Anyway, I had a hysterectomy way back when so I couldn't have this symptom regardless. Sorry.

s against the wall and shoot them, but you can and should contact the FDA regarding the outrageous pricing. With worldwide sales, I can't see how Merck or Vertex will have to wait years to recoup their development costs for these drugs. We are as they say "at their mercy". Write to your congressman, FDA, and while you're at it, write to the White House...

Did they tell you that you had optic neuritis? That was my first flair as far as we know. I've had it 3 or 4 times. I don't remember. I went on prednisone a few times and it worked every times. Lately, for the past few months off and on, I've been having jumpy vision. It gives me pretty bad migraines. I get migraines very easily so I'm on daily meds for that as well. It seems to work well but it doesn't stop the things that trigger my migraines.

Hello, I am sorry that I am saying this, I was pre-diagnosed with ms that was recently confirmed not ms. I am sorry that I had the news that most of you reading this will not hear. However I had accepted the diagnosis and was prepared,to move forward with my newly found life. And as a result almost a year of injection copaxone treatment ms that I don't know what to do with. I hate to throw it away but am not sure if I have another choice. Does anyone know of any other options?

Started my Copaxone on May 24 and it was fine and had no pain to speak of injecting.

Hi Ali. I can tell you my experience with Copaxone. I was just diagnosed in Dec of 07. I haven't been on any other MS med. I was put on Copaxone. In those 3 months I struggled with depression, sleeplessness, gained 10 lbs and had terrible dark circles under my eyes. It completely changed my personality. I took myself off it and finally after 2 weeks am starting to feel like myself again and have dropped the weight and the circles under my eyes are gone.

Copaxone is made by Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd. For more information, visit the Copaxone website, or call Shared Solutions at 1-800-887-8100.

But, I have just recently wondered about a question about weight gain. I am paranoid about gaining weight, and for some reason have not really thought about this issue when discussing the DMD's. I was actually relieved that someone finally is doing something about my situation. Anyways, what my question is ...... Has anyone experienced weigh gain, and if so, how much is expected?

Anyone out here using Copaxone? And if so for how long. I think I am going to try it, and was interested in some first hand information. shots, side effects, if you think it is working, etc. Any information would be greatly appreciated.

I am SO glad that you posted this...I have noticed (just started Copaxone about 5-6 weeks ago) that I do have changes in my tastes. In fact, not long after I give myself an injection, I notice a strange taste in my mouth, almost like thiere is increased saliva production. This is probably TOTALLY my imagination... Yes, there are injection site reactions. I was getting BIG welts when I injectied with the auto-injector. I decided to try an experiment and go back to self-injecting.
