Hi everyone, I’ve recently been diagnosed (last year) and started my first dmt (Ocreuvs) now I’ve been offered Kesimpta. Does anyone have any advice on this? It was a big decision/commitment to choose ocrevus, now I feel back to square one with it.
Why are the trying to switch ? Is it to do with cutting costs? Or Is it better?
Also with Kesimpta is there the same risks as ocrevus (pml or cancer).
It’s all overwhelming to get your head around and know what the best thing to do is.
Thank you
I think the biggest factor is the self injection at home and the reduced need for blood tests and other follow up.
Their effectiveness seems similar.
The delivery of the infusions takes up a large amount of resources and people on other treatments are not being seen even if they have had to come off them.
For people living a long way from their hospital and those who are working an effective self injectable would be an attractive option.
