The medication is administered via subcutaneous injection, usually daily or several times a week, depending on the dosage. Glatiramer acetate has shown efficacy in reducing relapse frequency and slowing disease progression.
Common side effects include injection site reactions, flushing, and palpitations. It is important for patients to be properly trained in injection administration and monitored for potential side effects.
