Q :
A :
Several differences exist between glatiramer acetate (Copaxone) and the interferon-betas (Avonex, Betaseron, Rebif). These include frequency of administration, route of administration, onset of action, and mechanisms of action. Copaxone is taken daily. Avonex is taken once weekly. Betaseron is taken every other day, and Rebif is taken three times weekly. Copaxone is taken subcutaneously (under the skin, like insulin) as are Betaseron and Rebif. Avonex is given into muscle. The onset of action of Copaxone is later than for the interferon-betas. Recent research has suggested that Copaxone may have neuroprotective effects, but further research is needed.
