Copaxone: Uses, Dosage, Side Effects

Copaxone Injection Sites

Copaxone can be injected under the skin in different parts of the body. Common sites include:

– The back of the upper arms

– The back of the hips under the waist

– The front of the thighs when you need to inject Copaxone into the area around two inches below the groin and two inches above the knee

– The belly or abdomen if you do not want to inject into the site within two inches of the belly button

Consult your healthcare provider to determine which injection site is suitable for you. In general, it is advisable to rotate the injection area after each shot. Avoid using the same area more than one time per week to avoid irritation. [6]
