Great question! Ocrelizumab (Ocrevus) is a highly effective disease-modifying therapy (DMT) for MS, and there are several alternatives that are also considered highly effective.
Here are some options worth discussing with your neurologist:
- Natalizumab (Tysabri) – Given as an IV infusion, it works by preventing inflammatory immune cells from crossing into the central nervous system
- Alemtuzumab (Lemtrada) – Also an IV infusion, considered highly effective
- Ublituximab (Briumvi) – Another IV infusion that targets B cells, similar to ocrelizumab
- Ofatumumab (Kesimpta) – A self-injectable option that also targets B cells, so it works similarly to ocrelizumab but from home
- Ocrevus Zunovo – A newer version of ocrelizumab itself, given as a quick 10-minute injection under the skin twice a year instead of a lengthy IV infusion If the infusion process is what you're looking to avoid, Ocrevus Zunovo or Kesimpta might be particularly appealing since they skip the infusion center entirely.
As always, your neurologist is the best person to help weigh which option suits your specific situation, health history, and lifestyle.
