this is very interesting and is vindicating for many here, Ron and Rick, who have been banging the inflammation drum for years, but I wonder why they have to inject it, instead of just having folks take it orally...

I think Copaxone is either a protein or peptide that would not survive the digestive tract, or some kind of polymer that would not be absorbed; the latter, i believe.

I googled Copaxone structure and got this;
http://www.rxlist.com/copaxone-drug.htm

Copaxone can only be administered via a subcutaneous injection. As previously stated, it would not absorb in the digestive track if taken orally. What's interesting is that Copaxone contains the active ingredient glatiramer acetate along with 40mg of Mannitol. The mannitol acts as a transporter allowing the glatiramer acetate to cross the BBB. We had discussed this process in some previous threads.
