Hi, I have been taking Copaxone since January this year - I was diagnosed in October 2021. I was told to use the injection pen on setting 8, but I don’t think the medication is going in deep enough to be absorbed as I appear to get oedema around the injection site for 2 days after. I was never told which way the dial on the pen works, do I dial up to 9 or down to 7 to make the injection go deeper?
Hey, i have been on copaxone previously and came off it due to site swelling and itching! I tried it for 12 months but didnt seem to ease…
This info was on Copaxone website so hopefully it helps
