You'd think Teva would explain better what's in the Copaxone and what Mannitol is. I know Copaxone is 4 naturally occurring amino acids which are supposed to mimic the components of what our myelin sheaths are made of. Copaxone is supposed to act as a decoy so that the T cells that attack our myelin go after the components of the Copaxone instead ( or mostly).

I don't even think Teva let us know that they had changed what's in Copaxone. I knew they had to put something different in it when it went from being that we had to mix it to pre-filled and now they say it can be kept out of refridgeration for up to one month. You know some preservative ( or more preservative ) had to be added to it for that to be possible.
