    Description

    Copaxone is a prescription medication containing the active ingredient glatiramer acetate, used for the treatment of relapsing forms of multiple sclerosis (MS). It is administered as an injection, typically in a dosage of 40 mg three times a week. Copaxone helps to reduce the frequency of relapses and delays the progression of disability in patients with MS.

    How It Works

    Copaxone is believed to work by modifying the immune system’s response to multiple sclerosis. It mimics a component of myelin, the protective sheath that covers nerve fibers, which is often attacked by the immune system in MS patients. By acting as a decoy, glatiramer acetate diverts the immune system’s attack away from the myelin, potentially reducing inflammation and preventing further nerve damage. This leads to fewer relapses and helps to slow the progression of MS symptoms.

    Side Effects

    While Copaxone is generally well-tolerated, some patients may experience side effects. Common side effects include:
    • Injection site reactions (redness, pain, swelling, itching)
    • Flushing (warmth, redness, or tingly feeling)
    • Rash
    • Shortness of breath
    • Chest pain
    • Palpitations (fast, pounding, or uneven heartbeat)
    In rare cases, more serious side effects may occur:
    • Severe allergic reactions (hives, difficulty breathing, swelling of the face, lips, tongue, or throat)
    • Serious injection site reactions (skin necrosis or lipoatrophy)
    Patients experiencing severe side effects should seek immediate medical attention.

    Indications

    Copaxone is indicated for:
    • Treatment of relapsing forms of multiple sclerosis (MS) in adults, including clinically isolated syndrome, relapsing-remitting disease, and active secondary progressive disease

    Contraindications

    Copaxone should not be used in the following situations:
    • Patients with known hypersensitivity to glatiramer acetate or mannitol
    • Severe allergic reactions to similar medications
