Two new drugs for multiple sclerosis
February 1997
Patients may ask you about two new drugs for multiple sclerosis...Copaxone (glatiramer acetate) and Zanaflex (tizanidine).
These drugs have just been approved in the U.S...and may be out by the end of the year in Canada. Anytime a new drug for MS is approved, it makes big news and people start asking about it.
Copaxone is also called copolymer-1 or "cop-1."
