667078 tn?1316000935 Another company is getting FDA approval for a generic of Copaxone which has been in production in India for two years. They will have to go through clinical trials in the U.S. Basically if you need Glatiramer Acetate, Copaxone, another company will have a generic at a lower price.
Avatar m tn Is Copaxone available in India? If so, I wonder how much the Copaxone would cost and how much you can you buy at one time and transfer it with you on a plane? You are right--health care costs are very, very expensive. I spend about $10,000/year on health care (which includes the insurance, medicines, doctor costs, etc.). Great thread!
572651 tn?1530999357 They have not been as successful with orals. Copaxone is probably manufactured in India, dirt cheap. They manufacture many generics there. My generic Migrane medicine is so cheaply made it says do not break but it breaks when you open the packaging. TEVA owns hundreds of generic drug companies and only makes name brand expensive drugs for MS and cancer. TEVA is about monopoly.
Avatar f tn Copaxone is Teva's goose which lays the golden egg. It makes more money on the U.S. market with Copaxone than all the rest of the World combined.It is the most profitable MS drug in history. Novartis its chief rival has Capaxone which is the generic version. Teva has fought in the courts to keep it off the U.S. market. It will be on the market soon. The plan was for Teva's oral MS drug to make it to the market before Gilenya but it still is not on the market.
Avatar m tn Dear Maria, I am not familiar with treatments available in India. But worldwide the accepted treatment would be for you to have a disease modifying drug - at present there are four standard ones - Copaxone, Rebif, Avonex, and Betaseron. All of these are injections. They may or may not help to slow the progrression of your disease. There are new drugs beings worked with too - one is Tysabri, which is an intravenous drug that is given monthly. You might ask about that.
1936411 tn?1333831849 In my brief time on Copaxone I found the Shared Solutions staff to be pleasant but ultimately very unhelpful. They must stick to a script and are not allowed to deviate, which natch makes for weird conversations, and probably accounts for her repeated statements which did not address your issues. Since they were of no help, had to revert to my neuro, and maybe that was for the best.
Avatar f tn We were traveling this weekend and before we got to our final destination, we stopped at my cousin's house for a pool party. I left everything in the car except for our swimming stuff. Unfortunately, I didn't even think that my Copaxone kit was in my suitcase. I had five syringes in there, and it was hot, hot, hot this weekend. Do you think that I should just throw these syringes away? I can't believe I could be so stupid! Thanks!
Avatar n tn is cryoablation available in india?......
Avatar f tn (not that he could help it if things were bad) but the first thing he did when the quake hit was get a count there and check on everyone in India and get word to the spouses in the states. I am so mentally slow today I cant seem to put two and two together.
Avatar n tn I am not sure I can help but I have lumps that last forever and also a few dents..and it hurts a lot of times. It doesnt sound quit as bad as yours though. I was going to suggest calling Shared Solutions, maybe they can help, or your Dr.
Avatar f tn Hello! My son is 4month 10days today. My son was born in indonesia and uptill 3months he had his vacvinations in indonesia itself. Since one month i have come to india for vaccation and his 4month vaccination for DTP- HIB and Polio is pending. I m concerned about getting him vaccinated here in india as brand for vaccination will be different from indonesia. Is it ok if i get my son vaccinated with different brand in india?
Avatar f tn Easier said than done, but try not to worry about it TOO much! I think everyone's responses so far just illustrate that everyone has an individual response to Copaxone. As for me, it was quite painful when I started, but it has most definitely gotten better. Some days I will get a mild sting (nothing like when I first started Copaxone) and then it will go away. Other times it will be a mild itch, and sometimes nothing at all! Same goes with the injection site reactions.
Avatar m tn I too did HBsAg test in India. They said its Chemililuminiscence method. Count is 5209. No unit.
Avatar n tn The report is conclusive and tells you that you do not have HIV. In India, test results are as reliable as anywhere in the world. You do not need to confirm the report you havem, because it is already final and conclusive.
Avatar m tn The cost of a radio frequency ablation in the United States can run from around $2,000in facilities that only specialise in this procedure to around $3,000 elswhere. It is my understanding that medical procedures in India can be as much as 70% less than the same treatment in the US which would make this procedure the equivalent of between $140 and $210 in India if what I have read is true. I hope this helps!
Avatar n tn HIPEC treatment is now available in India at Mumbai. Dr. Sanket Mehta, a surgical oncologist trained in France for HIPEC has now started this activity in Mumbai.
1983221 tn?1333506185 Hi Mummy. Just wanted to chime in. I'm on month 4 with Copaxone and have not had any headaches or flu-luke symypoms that I would attribute to Copax. How are you feeling about tonight's shot?
878413 tn?1240304669 I am very sorry that I cannot personally vouch for any of the Indian medical schools. I know that the Indian physicians here in Kansas City are excellent and most did at least their medical school and internship there. You might do a literature search on CSR and look for Indian authors. I'm sure there is a list somewhere of the top 10 ophthalmology programs in India. Last resort you might ask you local Eye MD what is the best second opinion he might value on his case.
Avatar m tn I will be going to Germany for 4 months. I am prescribed Cipralex in India. Should I take medicines from India or should I buy there. Will they provide based on Indian prescription?.
382218 tn?1341181487 is the largest (n=46) and longest study of its kind to date. In the study, patients taking COPAXONE® for six years experienced an improvement in neuronal mitochodrial function, as quantified by an increase in neuronal NAA levels and evaluated by 1H- Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy (1H-MRS). Decreased neuronal NAA levels are reflective of neuronal/axonal injury.
