" "With Copaxone® PFS there is no mixing, no preparation and fewer supplies are needed, ensuring increased accuracy, better compliance, and less chance for error or contamination. Copaxone® PFS is a consistent, convenient, and complete way for patients with MS to manage their therapy," explains Dr. Jean Godin, Medical Director, Teva Neuroscience, maker of Copaxone®. "Copaxone* PFS provides the same efficacy as the old format, in a more convenient and easier-to-use injection format. It makes it easier for patients with MS to focus more on their lives and less on their therapy." For neurologists, nurses and pharmacists, compliance and adherence to treatment are among the most important factors in any therapy. Patients frequently cited the fact that the PFS saves time and is easier to administer than the previous mixable formulation. "I'm very excited about the pre-filled syringe because it will make it easier for me to maintain my therapy without feeling like MS is controlling me. This will definitely improve my overall quality of life," comments Dave Chisamore, who has had MS since 1999 and been taking Copaxone® since June 2000. "
