Copaxone (Co-PAX-ohn, copolymer-1 or "cop-1") for multiple sclerosis (MS)

September 1996

Patients will be asking you about Copaxone (Co-PAX-ohn, copolymer-1 or "cop-1") for multiple sclerosis (MS).

An FDA advisory committee will consider it this month...probably advise approval for patients with relapsing forms of MS.

Copaxone is given by injection...to suppress the immune response that leads to nerve damage. This reduces relapse rates...and might slow disability.
