Effectiveness of Copaxone
It is still not fully known how Copaxone help manage multiple sclerosis. Some scientists believe that this medication has a similar chemical composition with the myelin sheath, which covers nerve cells. When multiple sclerosis occurs, it causes the immune system to damage myelin. Copaxone may prevent this effect, but the precise mechanism is still not clear. Additionally, Copaxone would lower the number of B-cells, which would contribute to the development of multiple sclerosis. Previous studies have shown that taking Copaxone may help people with multiple sclerosis reduce tissue damage, axonal metabolic injury, brain-volume loss, and atrophy. Overall, it is a safe and effective treatment for many forms of multiple sclerosis. [3]
