Is this available in New Zealand as I have PPMS and there's not a lot for me here?

I have checked the MSNZ site and saw they are approaching Phamac for this process.

Why don't you try contacting the website www.ccrevus.com? I think they have a contact us and ask them a question. If your insurance doesn't cover it, they may help. Good luck.

I hope it is approved in NZ soon! Have heard great things about this treatment. As my level of JC virus is higher than normal I can only have the infusion I am currently on for max 2 years as the risk of brain disease increases too much. Hopefully it will be available by then!

Call either the company that makes Ocrevus, your Dr, or a MS hospital there. Or contact the MS place on here. And good luck!

After doing a little research it appears that it is yet to be approved in New Zealand.

You might want to check in with the Multiple Sclerosis Society of New Zealand for a drug approval update.
