Not sure since I couldn't remember what the autoinjectors look like for the different drugs, but it looked like a Copaxone autoject to me.

Every insurance company and drugstore charges a different price. Just ask Vic!

It could be that his doc put him on Copaxone and the insurance only covers the interferons. I know when I was on Copaxone, they wanted me to do the fail on interferons first and my doc took care of that in short order, and I was able to do the Copaxone without interferons first.

There's no rhyme or reason to their pricing!
