| Immunomodulators and immunosuppressants: glatiramer acetate |
Glatiramer acetate, a mixture of synthetic peptides composed of four amino acids, appears to mimic the antigenic properties of myelin basic protein. Mild pain and pruritus at the injection site are the most common complaints. Some patients experience chest discomfort, flushing and dyspnoea shortly after injection. These episodes are poorly understood and, although frightening for the patient, appear to be benign.
