I have been taking Makena for 6 weeks at this point. So far, so good. The injection site does typically stay sore for approximately 4-5 days which is unnerving as the injection is received once every 7 days. However, this side effect is minimal if it prevents another child from being born 12 weeks early. Very expensive medication; however, the manufacturer of the drug does offer a wonderful financial assistance program that assists with the costs (even if you are insured!)
