copaxone

Avatar f tn The latest I heard was that Teva has petitioned the FDA to require new phase 2 and pahse 3 studies for the Copaxone generics "since the process and formulation of the generics hsa not been proven to be as safe or as clinically effective as the Teva formulation." There is a several million dollar hit ot getting a generic to market. "Teva is pulling out all the stops to protect Copaxone, which provides 25%-33% of the pharmaceutical company's profit.
572651 tn?1530999357 We talk about profits from the Big Pharmas - here is one that really angers me. TEVA asking FDA to not approve BG-12..... http://www.businessweek.com/news/2013-01-10/teva-cites-bg-12-safety-in-asking-fda-to-add-ms-reviews Make of it what you will....
Avatar f tn Another company has a generic of Copaxone and is fighting in the U.S. courts with Teva. Ironically Teva fights in court to make generics of all the other best selling drugs in the U.S. Teva's marketing is expensive as is the whole Share Solutions organization which is to get and keep as many MS patients on Copaxone and to find out about problems with the drug before the FDA does.
667078 tn?1316000935 Mylan a big maker of generics like Teva has teamed up with Natco an Indian Pharmaceutical, who makes a generic of Copaxone. They have been fighting with Teva in U.S. Courts over patent infringement for years. PITTSBURGH, Sept. 14 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Mylan Inc. (NASDAQ: MYL) today announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has accepted for filing Mylan Pharmaceutical Inc.
Avatar f tn My husband and I went to a dinner sponsored by Teva Neuroscience last week at Maggiano's in Richmond. They had some guy who is a personal trainer speak at the beginning and then a doctor from a local neurology practice talked. I didn't learn anything that I didn't already know, but the food was amazing and it was a free date night. They did mention Laquininmod (I think that is what it was called), the oral agent that Teva is coming out with.
352007 tn?1372857881 Stinky for the insurance company to not approve the three times weekly dosing - it has been proven and for right now it is absolutely the same cost as the daily copaxone. TEVA set it up that way to be able to switch patients to the new dosing - too bad your insurance balks at that and perhaps your neurologist needs to be more assertive. Seriously, i am sorry you have MS but we figured that for quite some time.
Avatar m tn I am signing up for Medicare and discovered my contribution on Copaxone will be approximately $5000 a year. On my old insurance my payment was $600 a year. Living on a fixed income I won't be able to continue Copaxone if I don't find help, shared solutions doesn't help with people on Medicare. Anyone have this problem?
620048 tn?1358018235 I was just watching a video by Dr. Kantor, he Copaxone was talking about how the copaxone dosage could be minimized. Has anyone else heard this before? Below is the video... http://conferencecenter.msworld.
1936411 tn?1333831849 The big WIN for TEVA is this begins the drug protection clock all over again for Copaxone, since it has expired and the generic version was looming. This 'new' formulation gives them exclusive rights again.
1831849 tn?1383228392 Teva is testing Copaxone at twice the current level. The results ore given relative to placebo. Nothing is said about results relative to current dose. http://www.nasdaq.
373640 tn?1204549791 s should list all possible side effects as we know - but when your up against Teva Aventis, no chance. Copaxone does not effect vital organs like some of the other ABC's, but at the end of the day not listing this just doesn't cut it - I know that here in France all Neuros give out Copaxone as their first choice of therapy.
Avatar f tn What is the best way to get help paying for copaxone or is there a generic version that is less expensive? I was hoping to start taking it soon, but Im afraid I can't afford it. Also, has anyone taken the new oral version? Is it less expensive? I was advised not to use it but I certainly will if I can afford it. Plus, what are the other benefits of using copaxone othr than slowing down the formation of new lesions. Will I get my energy back? Will my concentration get better?
Avatar f tn I thought this was interesting. It was sent to Teva almost a year ago by the Dept of Health & Human Services/FDA. http://www.fda.gov/downloads/Drugs/GuidanceComplianceRegulatoryInformation/EnforcementActivitiesbyFDA/WarningLettersandNoticeofViolationLetterstoPharmaceuticalCompanies/UCM296204.pdf Does anyone notice having more infections or anything like that since starting Copaxone? Just wondering....
439664 tn?1204660958 They sent me a letter stating something to the effect that they were now going to a five-bevel needles instead of a three and were going to give us the sharpest and thinnest possible injection point possible with the Copaxone. Thank you TEVA pharmaceuticals for your response and concern.
572651 tn?1530999357 Anyway, before I digress any further I want to tell you my reaction to the luncheon - the speaker was a member of Team Copaxone, and she was very good - her talk was part inspirational, part motivational, and very knowledgeable. There are ten of these ambassadors for TEVA pharmaceutical and Copaxone, and my guess is all ten of these MS patients would be worth hearing speak.
Avatar f tn Initially dr prescribed Gilyenia and it was denied by insurance. Then he submitted Copaxone 40. It has been over 3 weeks and we got word today that it also was denied. Shared solutions couldn't tell us if they may perhaps approve the Copaxone 20. I'll be calling the dr in the morning. This is frustrating. I know this prob pretty common but I hate that the insurance is limiting what meds a patient can take. And we have good insurance, or so we thought. You too???
572651 tn?1530999357 LOL This mag is printed by Teva Neuroscience, the maker of Copaxone, and is always interesting to read cover to cover. This issue has a look at the next wave of MS drugs coming - mainly the oral ones. An explanation of how clinial trials work. And a great article on how far MS therapy has come and where it is heading- it even includes a timeline. Did you know the first known MS patient was Sister Lidwina in 1421? Now you know!! You can access the mag online at www.MSperspectives.
Avatar f tn Does anyone know what the price for copaxone will be effective January 2012? It's almost tripled in six years!
1045086 tn?1332126422 Since reading other people's confessions, I've been very careful about making sure I uncap the Copaxone needle when using the auto-injector. Don't want to waste that precious, expensive Teva nector. So I created my own unique fopa (or maybe not, if someone else is willing to admit it). Here goes. I'm injecting my arm tonight. Load it - check. Uncap it - check. Position - check. Inject - misfire. Second attampt - trigger won't budge. What's up with that?
1876457 tn?1322405589 Ive been researching open enrollment plans for my part d Medicare plan. Not one covers copaxone at more than 33% of total out of pocket expenses. This is too spendy of a drug to pay even $120.00 a day for it!!! Its crazy. I was curious if anyone has received help from any agencies covering it fully and/or mostly? Ive contacted Medicare, my prescription plan, teva, and my doctors office. I just received a basic health plan card from my state but again....not covered under the current formulary.
338416 tn?1420045702 on or off my copaxone, I always worry about disease progression. I think that is just normal. Is there any way you can apply for some of the financial assistance programs to get you back on a dmd? Hearing everyone's woes with the cost of the drugs and having to make these tough choices makes me very sad. We should be treating our people in this country so much better. Lets hope that your relapse here is over soon and that you return to your *normal* state.
572651 tn?1530999357 I just received an invitation from Teva/Shared Solutions (for COPAXONE). I took it for over 18 months and had great results on it. Then I lost my health insurance and could no longer afford it. I went to my county hospital in October and without an appointment not scheduled until Feb. 17th, they would not prescribe it. They felt "it would be good to take a break and shouldn't hurt my therapy.
