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 ®  Unknowns

(glatiramer acetate)

 

Renal (Kidney) Functioning

 
No data available for the use of Copaxone in patients with impaired renal functioning.

However it is worthy of note that animal studies suggest that immune complexes are deposited in the renal glomeruli.

While the significance of this is undetermined, there is the possibility patients with impaired renal functioning may be adversely affected.
