Glatiramer in the treatment of multiple sclerosis-0
TL;DRAbstract
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a disease of the central nervous system with both an inflammatory and degenerative component. The disease primarily affects young adults and results in significant physical and cognitive disability. Several disease-modifying agents are currently used in the management of multiple sclerosis. Glatiramer acetate (GA, Copaxone, co-polymer 1) is a disease-modifying agent approved for the treatment of relapsing remitting multiple sclerosis. Apart from its unique mode of action, there is evidence pointing toward a possible neuroprotective role. This review will critically discuss GA's potential mechanisms of action, the results of clinical trials, safety profile, and future directions of treatment.
