Glatiramer acetate

Glatiramer acetate is a medication used to help manage multiple sclerosis (MS), a disease where the immune system attacks the nervous system. It works by modifying the immune response, reducing the frequency of MS relapses. The drug is typically administered via injections, usually several times a week. While its exact mechanism is complex, it essentially acts as a decoy for immune cells, helping to protect the nerves from damage. Glatiramer acetate is often part of long-term treatment strategies to help slow the progression of MS and manage symptoms.
