The Food and Drug Administration is an agency within the Department of Health and Human Services. The FDA is responsible for protecting the public health by ensuring the safety, efficacy, and security of human and veterinary drugs, biological products, and medical devices; and by ensuring the safety of our nation's food supply, cosmetics, and products that emit radiation. FDA also has responsibility for regulating the manufacturing, marketing, and distribution of tobacco products to protect the public health and to reduce tobacco use by minors. FDA is responsible for advancing the public health by helping to speed innovations that make medical products more effective, safer, and more affordable and by helping the public get the accurate, science-based information they need to use medical products and foods to maintain and improve their health. FDA also plays a significant role in the Nation's counterterrorism capability. FDA fulfills this responsibility by ensuring the security of the food supply and by fostering development of medical products to respond to deliberate and naturally emerging public health threats.

    📣 FDA is alerting patients, caregivers, and health care professionals of labeling updates for glatiramer acetate injection products. Updated labeling includes a new warning that using an autoinjector that is not compatible with a specific glatiramer acetate injection product may increase the risk for medication errors, such as a missed dose or administration of a partial dose.  FDA is also alerting patients and health care professionals that some glatiramer acetate injection products may be administered using an optional compatible autoinjector, while other glatiramer acetate injection products must only be injected using the prefilled syringe.
