The US FDA is adding a boxed warning to Copaxone / glatopa / glatiramer acetate regarding possible anaphylactic reactions.
Some people, even after years of use, may present with anaphylactic symptoms, “including wheezing or difficulty breathing, swelling of the face, lips, or throat, and hives.”
Read the whole article yourself and discuss with your neurologist. It’s important to recognize the difference between “normal” post-injection reactions and very serious reactions that suggest anaphylaxis.
Thank you, thank you so much for sharing this information!!!! I have been on Copaxone for years; mainly because my Neurologist has been concerned to switch me because I have “low blood pressure .” I I’m in my Sixties and blessed with my late mom’s good genes and take care of myself with diet and exercise! My exacerbations have been few and far and in between. I have been complimenting this decision for a few years now. It’s time to make a decision !!!!🙏
