Immediate reactions with glatiramer acetate: Diagnosis of allergy and desensitization protocols.

Purpose Of Review: Diverse adverse events have been associated with administration of glatiramer acetate (GA), mainly local reactions at the injection site. Other, less frequent generalized reactions include isolated postinjection reactions and anaphylaxis, which may lead to discontinuation of GA.

Recent Findings: Close collaboration between the allergy and neurology departments is needed to study adverse reactions to GA.
