Glatect (Glatiramer) is available as an injection only. It comes in single-use prefilled syringes.
There are special directions enclosed in the package with the injection. Read these directions carefully before using the medication.

Glatect (Glatiramer) is used with the guidance and supervision of a doctor. Your doctor or nurse will assist you in the preparation and injection of your first dose (or first few doses). Do not attempt to inject Glatect (Glatiramer) on your own until you completely understand how to inject a dose.
Rotate the injection sites (arms, thighs, upper buttocks, or stomach) to minimize injection site skin irritation.
Many things can affect the dose of medication that a person needs, such as body weight, other medical conditions, and other medications. If your doctor has recommended a dose different from the ones listed here, do not change the way that you are using the medication without consulting your doctor.
It is important to take Glatect (Glatiramer) exactly as prescribed by your doctor. If you miss a dose, inject it as soon as you remember. If it is less than 12 hours until your next dose, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular dosing schedule. Do not inject a double dose to make up for a missed one. If you are not sure what to do after missing a dose, contact your doctor or pharmacist for advice.
Store the prefilled syringes in the refrigerator (2°C to 8°C) and protect from light. The prefilled syringes may also be stored at room temperature for up to one month. Keep Glatect (Glatiramer) out of the reach of children.
