Multiple Sclerosis

Suspicious papanicolaou smears (pap smears) and vaginal haemorrhage were reported as frequent post marketing events by patients with multiple sclerosis using Copaxone.

(glatiramer acetate)

 

Decreased / Increased Peripheral Blood Counts

 
Rare post-marketing reports of leukopenia (reduction in the number of white blood cells), anemia (reduction in haemoglobin, the oxygen carrying content of red blood cells), eosinophilia (an unusual increase in the number of eosinophils (white blood-cell type leukocyte) in the blood stream.

Generally considered an allergic reaction; pancytopenia (a simultaneous decrease in red, white and blood platelet cells) have been reported.

There is no indication as to whether these events are connected to Copaxone ® use.
