Copaxone

Copaxone is a medication used to treat multiple sclerosis (MS), a disease where the immune system mistakenly attacks the protective covering of nerve fibers in the brain and spinal cord. It works by modifying the immune response, helping to reduce the frequency of MS flare-ups and slow disease progression. Copaxone is typically administered as a daily injection and can help manage symptoms, improve quality of life, and potentially delay disability. It is generally well-tolerated but may cause side effects like injection site reactions or mild flu-like symptoms.
