I was using Copaxone for years and switched to Glatopa a few months ago. I have not had any negative effects with Glatopa. I have great insurance so cost didn't drive my decision to switch.

I was using Copaxone for years and switched to Glatopa a few months ago. I have not had any negative effects with Glatopa. I have great insurance so cost didn't drive my decision to switch. I just would like to see Teva go out of business for over charging AND stifling healthy competition that leads to innovative breakthroughs. When I switched to Glatopa, I was told that I would have to use their Sandoz auto-injector. The Sandoz company promptly sent me their auto-injector kit for free, nice folks they are:) What I ultimately found is the Glatopa glass syringes work just fine with the Auto2 Injector that I'd been using for years and very accustom to. I haven't notice any less effectiveness with Glatopa and I would because when I have a flair up, it's usually in the form of optic neuritis. Now that that Israel's Teva strangle hold on Copaxone generics in the United States is no longer, (Teva even tried to sue the FDA in hopes of keeping their Copaxone strangle hold, Teva lost) I'm hoping that other big pharma vendors get into manufacturing high quality Copaxone generics and even develop more highly effective MS treatments.

I was on Copaxone for 4 years without a noticeable flare up. After being switched to Glatopa about 3 months ago I now have lost feeling in my left arm and the left side of my face. I'm also having more difficulty injecting and more injection reactions. I gave up on their injector and now just use my old Copaxone one.

I was changed to this generic form from my insurance about 3 mo ago. I have been even more tired starting a month ago and I have started forgetting important things such as appointments and conversations. I will be seeing a doctor soon for this.
