**Purpose:** MS (Multiple Sclerosis) *(Started Dec 08, 2006)*
Date	Dosage	Efficacy	Side Effects	Adherence	Burden
Aug 18, 2008	20 mg Daily	?Can't tell	Mild	Always	A little

Side effects:: Injection site reaction, Redness, Lumps and bumps

Date: Aug 18, 2008
Advice & Tips: Doing the injections manually (rather than using the autoject) results in less site reactions. Read the included information, and make sure you are aware of the symptoms of the "reaction" that some experience immediately after injecting. It can be really scary when it happens if you don't know what it is. It happened to me once, after being on Copaxone for over 1.5 years.
Cost: < $25 monthly
