(Mayo Clinic) 40-year-old woman w/MS dies of cardiac arrest afte |

r injecting glatiramer |

|
Glatiramer acetate (Copaxone) users are familiar with the IPIR |
|
(immediate post-injection reaction) that some people have |
|
shortly after injecting this drug. I myself had a very |
|
negligible such reaction once. It has often been described, and |
|
years ago I had a discussion about it with someone at Shared |
|
Solutions, the Copaxone support system. The person I spoke with |
|
was probably a nurse or at least someone knowledgeable about the |
|
drug. When I asked if the IPIR was an allergic reaction, she |
|
said it wasn't but it was "like" an allergic reaction. I got the |
|
impression (or maybe was actually told) that nobody really knew |
|
much about what triggers this reaction. People are always told |
|
that it is harmless and almost always passes in less than half |
|
an hour--all you need to do is wait it out. |
|
But it sounds as if this woman may have had one of the dreaded |
|
IPIRs--and it was fatal. |
|
This sad fatality happened over two years ago. |

This report from Mayo Clinic contains a few more details about |
|
the case of the woman with MS who died of anaphylactic shock, |
|
apparently related to the Copaxone she had been injecting. |
|
From MayoLive (August 21, 2024)--"HPRA Acts on Mayo Coroner's |
|
Recommendation to Monitor MS Drug": |
|
https://bit.ly/3ZctEaL |
|
According to Wikipedia, the HPRA regulates medicines in Ireland: |
|
[quote][font=sans-serif]The [/font][font=sans-serif]Health |
|
Products Regulatory Authority[/font][font=sans-serif] |
|
(HPRA[/font][font=sans-serif]) is an Irish |
|
[/font][font=sans-serif]regulatory agency |
|
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regulatory_agency[/font][font=sans-serif].<br |
|
/>It advises the Irish government. It is responsible for both |
|
public and animal health. It regulates medicines, medical |
|
devices, clinical trials and other health products and monitors |
|
the safety of cosmetics. [/font][/quote] |
