There is another thing I would like to know. I am currently in the middle of an exacerbation and this is the craziest one yet. I never know where I am going to be from day to day, but the one constant is an acute tiredness. I am not used to this. It will be available by prescription in a few months.
Side effects are few.
Rarely patients will experience a flushing or unusual feeling. Which is not fully understood, but has not caused serious problems. Most patients tolerate this drug extremely well. Copaxone is not an interferon drug which makes it different from Betaseron or Avonex which are both beta interferon. The few patients who have trouble with the beta interferon will likely find this a welcomed substitute.
