We’ve partnered with non-profits and manufacturers to deliver cost savings on your monthly copays. This program will operate much like the Copaxone copay cards you may have already heard of.

What is Copaxone®?

Copaxone® is a prescription medicine that is used to treat relapsing forms of multiple sclerosis (MS), to include clinically isolated syndrome, relapsing-remitting disease, and active secondary progressive disease, in adults.

What is the brand name of Glatopa?

The brand name is commonly Copaxone®, although it is also known as generic terms Glatiramer or Glatiramer Acetate.

How does Copaxone work as treatment for multiple sclerosis?

While the exact mechanism of action of Copaxone is not fully understood, it is thought to involve several immunomodulatory effects. In every day terms, this means that immune response within the body is changed from inflammatory to anti-inflammatory. Here’s the more scientific explanation of how Copaxone is believed to work for your deeper understanding;

  1. Modulation of the immune system: Copaxone is composed of a mixture of synthetic polypeptides that resemble myelin basic protein (MBP), a component of the protective myelin sheath surrounding nerve fibers. When administered, Copaxone interacts with specific immune cells called T-cells. It is thought that this interaction triggers a shift in the immune response from an inflammatory state to a more anti-inflammatory state. This helps reduce the autoimmune response against myelin, which is a characteristic feature of MS.
  2. Induction of regulatory T-cells: Copaxone has been shown to promote the production and activation of regulatory T-cells (Tregs). Tregs play a crucial role in immune regulation and suppressing excessive immune responses. By increasing the number and activity of Tregs, Copaxone helps maintain immune balance and reduce the attack on myelin.
  3. Decreased production of pro-inflammatory cytokines: Copaxone treatment has been associated with a reduction in the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines, such as interferon-gamma and tumor necrosis factor-alpha. These cytokines are known to contribute to the inflammatory processes that damage myelin in MS. By decreasing their production, Copaxone helps reduce inflammation in the central nervous system.
What are the common doses of Copaxone®?

Copaxone® is administered three times per week at 40 mg. These injections must be done at least 48 hours apart.

Are there any possible side effects of Copaxone®?

Serious side effects may occur right after or within minutes of injection. Some side effects include chest pain, damage to the fatty tissue just under your skin’s surface, liver problems including liver failure, and more.

How does Copaxone® help multiple sclerosis (MS)?

Most commonly, relapsing MS affects the central nervous system (CNS). The CNS is affected through an abnormal response of the body’s immune system, which consists of a network of cells, tissues, and proteins. In particular, one type of cell called a T cell plays a significant role for your body’s immune response. In relapsing MS, inflammatory T cells attack the myelin that protects the nerve tissue in the CNS. Copaxone® is believed to modify immune processes responsible for activating MS. 

What form does Copaxone® come in?

Copaxone® comes in injection form. 

How do I take Copaxone®?

Copaxone® is done through a subcutaneous injection only.

What if I miss a dose?
