Drug-Induced Liver Injury by Glatiramer Acetate Used for Treatment of Multiple Sclerosis: A Case Report.

The Unexpected Oasis: Glatiramer Acetate and Liver Health

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a challenging neurological condition that can be compared to a desert journey, with unpredictable twists and turns. Glatiramer acetate (GA) is a medication used to treat relapsing-remitting MS, but like a desert mirage, it can sometimes have unintended consequences. This study reports a case of GA-induced toxic hepatitis, a rare but potentially serious side effect.
