I have injected Copaxone for over ten years. My insurance provider switched me to Glatopa, generic Copaxone, and I am unable to inject myself with the injector because I can't push down hard enough to do it. My husband has to push the switch so I know I am loading it right. Has anyone else had this problem? My hubby is not always with me.

I guess I was lucky. My neurologist handled my switch back to Copaxone. He also knew of some people who had problems with the Glatopa injector. I think Glatopa needs to change the injector. The product is ok but the injectors bad.

I can't stand the Glatopa autoinject, I hit a spot and it takes like 5 minutes for the injection to finish. Lift it off too soon and it runs all over the place. Wish I had copaxone back, but insurance told me it's glatopa or go back to avonex or something else!.
