copaxone stability

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.

t told of any side effects from coming off Copaxone nor that I needed a period of time to rid my body of Copaxone before starting the Gilenya.

Been a while since I checked in here. Things are going well. I inject Copaxone in the evening, and the injectionsite reactions are doable. My first followup MRI comes up in May. Here's hoping there are no new lesions. I take the n-acetyl glucosamine as a supplement, too. I have gone back to college again at 59. Need to finish my BA. Psychology/English. I might go for my Masters in Psychology. So I am only on one med, and I am in Secondary Progressive. Could be worse.

This is a difficult question, which may be more or less a judgment call that the neuro and patient make together. If your MS is not worsening, then I don't think you've reached a progressive form. You may be in a very long remission, which doesn't necessarily mean no symptoms, but does mean a degree of stability. This is good. There are no DMDs for progressive MS, unfortunately.

hi guys im just a little bit confuse about what doctor said that boiling has no effect on stability of HCV outside the body but this article said heat have a drastic effect on HCV life so that means boiling can kill HCV ( http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2834657/ ) HCVcc in culture medium was found to survive 37°C and room temperature (RT, 25 ± 2°C) for 2 and 16 days, respectively, while the virus was relatively stable at 4°C without drastic loss of infectivity for at least 6 weeks.

Cardiologist on Wednesday after a severe adverse reaction to a Copaxone injection. The Copaxone people seem to think of this kind of reaction as rare and to just ride it out until it stops in about 15 to 20 minutes. I swear it felt like I was having a heart attack. Neuro said these types of reactions with Copaxone with middle aged people on the treatment, should be followed up by a cardiologist, since the reaction is like a vasospasm of the circulatory system.

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.

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.

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.

I was reading the question that were posted about copaxone and I am currently on my husband insurance and my copay is $40.00 a month but they pay $5.00 and I only pay $35.00 a month. Well my situation is changing and I really need to find a way to pay for this medicine. I check with my insurance on my job and it will not cover this medicine. I need help. I read this other lady post and she said they told her she didnt qualify, that is what I am afraid of.

Hi guys, this is a question for us users of Copaxone. I am wondering if anyone knows the reason we have to pinch up our skin before doing a manual injection? I am asking because some of my sites are easy to do that, but some are not. I have just been injecting , like anyother needle, and my reactions are minimal. Am I doing something wrong? With the Autoject, the reaction sites were just to sore, and lumpy, and I'm trying it this way..... \\\\\\\\So, what do ya think??? Thxs...

when should you stop copaxone--- been getting awful heart rate goes very high even half hr after shot-- not right after the shot it can be minuets later feels like its goin 2 jump out-- dont want 2 stop but it can cause heart failure 4 a few i think anyone else have this- been on it a year- then this happens- thanks tick
