    1. What is copaxone?
    Copaxone
    is the brand name for glatiramer acetate. The active ingredient of copaxone is glatiramer acetate which consists of the acetate salts of synthetic polypeptides, containing four naturally occurring amino acids: L-glutamic acid, L-alanine, L-tyrosine, and L-lysine with an average molar fraction of 0.141, 0.427, 0.095, and 0.338, respectively. Each 1 mL of copaxone injection contains 20 mg of glatiramer acetate and 40 mg of mannitol. The pH range of copaxone injection is approximately 5.5 to 7.0. The biological activity of Copaxone (glatiramer acetate) is determined by its ability to block the induction of experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) in mice.

    2. Copaxone dose
    Glatiramer acetate
    is injected subcutaneously (between the fat layer just under the skin and the muscles beneath) once a day. Copaxone is usually given at a dose of 20 milligrams once daily at the same time each day or as directed by your doctor. Visit your doctor or health care professional for regular checks on your progress to make sure your health.

    3. The side effects of copaxone
    Side effects of copaxone include injection site reactions such as atrophy (leading to permanent indentations in the skin), redness, swelling, itching or some pain at the site. Rarely, copaxone may cause chest tightness and shortness of breath. Although alarming at the time, this usually passes quickly, only occurs sporadically, and causes no long-term problems. 

    Some people receiving copaxone have had a severe reaction. Tell your doctor right away if you feel anxious, warm, itchy, tingly, or have a pounding heartbeat, tightness in your throat, or trouble breathing during the injection. This type of reaction may occur even after you have been using glatiramer for several months. Copaxone manufacturers also know its side effects. So when they produce it, they will mention its side effects on the specification.
