Active Ingredient & Action
Glatiramer Acetate, the active ingredient in COPAXONE, is a synthetic polypeptide that is believed to act as an immunomodulator. It is thought to modulate the immune system's response to myelin, the fatty substance that surrounds and protects nerve fibers in the central nervous system, thereby reducing inflammation and damage caused by MS.
