Multiple Sclerosis

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

Multiple Sclerosis (MS) Drugs

Copaxone ®  Side Effects

(glatiramer acetate)

 

Chest Pains

 
Approximately 26% of controlled trial patients receiving glatiramer acetate experienced what was described as transient chest pain.

Some of these episodes occurred immediately post-injection (approx 10%), however many did not. The significance of this remains unexplored.

Post marketing event reporting has indicated hypertension as a frequently reported (at least 1/100) event for those on Copaxone ®.

Any causal relationship, if any, remains unknown.
