Starting Copaxone

A MyMSTeam Member asked a question 💭
Brunswick, OH

For those who have been on Copaxone can it be started on Friday instead of Monday? I'm thinking having a weekend to be able to start and not have the weekday responsibility may be a good idea. I'm just not sure if it should be started on Monday for the regular regiment.

I just started today, a Thursday and was told I could switch after Saturday to MWF - - the rule was you must allow a minimum of 48 hours between injections. I'm planning on staying with T TH Sat as I tend to take Wednesdays and Sundays off, so it works for me.

Well I am on the 40 mg that you take 3 x a week and I take mine MWF and I started on a Friday when I switched over. Not sure if that helps or not!
