I have been taking copaxone for almost a year now and it's helping and the side effects are managable but I have had three relapses since I started taking it. I personal don't like doing injections three times a week anymore and I'm wanting to look at other treatment options. Any suggestions?

I am taking Gilenya which is a capsule. You should talk to your doctor about options though .

I’m on Vumerity. 4 pills total, 2 in morning and 2 at night. Works for me.

Discuss it with your health care Professional. Weigh all the pros and cons and go from there. I hate the injections too, but I only do it once a week, but we have to be thankful it is not daily. Was considering Tecfidera, but don't want to risk something that will make me feel worse. I have the minimum s/e with Avonex, so I know what I working with. To and for me not worth the risk. Yes aking a capsule is appealing, but not worth it if my liver, kidney or brain can be effected. Good Luck

I'm on Gilenya also and so far it's been working great.
