It should be noted however that during pre-marketing studies of Copaxone ®, approximately 10% of MS patients exposed to glatiramer acetate experienced immediate, post-injection, allergy-type reactions including: flushing, chest pain, palpitations, anxiety, dyspnea (difficulty breathing), constriction of the throat, and urticaria (hives).
