These reached after an average treatment period of 3-4 months maximum concentration and increased thereafter up to a concentration as the off-the gcringfiigig was higher than the initial concentration. There is no evidence up there, that the antibodies against glatiramer acetate contribute neuralisierend or affect the clinical efficacy of Copaxone "can.
In all clinical trials most often reactions observed at the injection site and the majority of patients Copaxone were` reported. In controlled trials, the number of patients, these reactions at least once reported in the group treated with Copaxonc. higher than in the group taking placebo, he held (82% vs. verum. 48% placebo).

These reached after an average treatment period of 3-4 months maximum concentration and increased thereafter up to a concentration of like-from. which was slightly higher than the initial concentration. There is no evidence up there, that the antibodies against glatiramer acetate neuralisierend affect or influence the clinical efficacy of Copaxonek can.
