Indications & Clinical Uses

Ocrevus is a disease-modifying therapy used in the treatment of multiple sclerosis (MS).

  • Relapsing forms of multiple sclerosis (RMS): Reduces the frequency of MS relapses and slows the progression of disability.
  • Primary progressive multiple sclerosis (PPMS): Slows the progression of disability and reduces the rate of brain volume loss.

How It Works

  • Ocrelizumab works by binding to CD20-positive B cells, which are a type of immune cell involved in the inflammatory process of multiple sclerosis. This binding leads to the depletion of these B cells, thereby modulating the immune response and reducing inflammation in the central nervous system.

Ocrevus can cause various side effects, ranging from common to serious or rare.

Common Side Effects

  • Infusion-related reactions such as fever, chills, and fatigue.
  • Upper respiratory tract infections.

  • Progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML), a rare brain infection.
  • Hepatitis B reactivation.
  • Hypersensitivity reactions.
  • Liver problems.
