My insurance no longer covers the brand named Copaxone. So I was switched to the Mylan brand of Glatiramer Acetate (40 MG) about 3 weeks ago. Two weeks ago, I started noticing joint stiffness and pain. It is to the point now that it is hard to straighten my fingers all the way at times. My knees hurt when I stand up. My back has started hurting. I did not feel this way 3 weeks ago before I was switched to the generic brand.
Just FYI, since I am now getting this from the VA, I have asked my neurologist to request authorization to dispense only the Copaxone brand named drug. I should find out in the next week if it is approved.
Anyone else noticed any issues with generic?
Thanks!!
