Hi Faith,
Nice to meet you.
This may help you understand what is in the Copaxone.
http://www.rxlist.com/copaxone-drug.htm#
COPAXONEŽ Injection is a clear, colorless to slightly yellow, sterile, non-pyrogenic solution for subcutaneous injection.
Each 1.0 mL of solution contains 20 mg of glatiramer acetate and 40 mg of mannitol, USP
The pH range of the solution is approximately 5.5 to 7.0. The biological activity of COPAXONEŽ is determined by its ability to block the induction of EAE in mice.

Who should
not use COPAXONEŽ?
COPAXONEŽ is not recommended for use in pregnancy. So, tell your doctor if you are pregnant or if you plan to become pregnant while taking this medicine.
Tell your doctor if you are nursing. It is not known if COPAXONEŽ is passed through the breast milk to the baby.
Do not use COPAXONEŽ if you are allergic to glatiramer acetate or mannitol.
That's all they say about Mannitol. NADA..nothing else.
