Copazone side effect?
Watch this 
View More Posts
Two months ago I was put in the hospital because 10 minutes after my injection I had vertigo & lost speech. After ruling out stroke & heart attack this is the only thing they found -

"Thrombocytopenic Purpura - Thrombocytopenic purpura are purpura associated with a reduction in circulating blood platelets which can result from a variety of causes."

I have not taken Copazone since I went to the hospital. Got the results of last blood test today. I no longer have this. My blood test was perfect.

This is not listed as a side effect but I have been on it for over 10 years.

If the link gets mangled google:
Thrombocytopenic Purpura copaxone

Wow, you are doing the right thing to be careful after an experience like that.
