Ocrevus (ocrelizumab)

Filled with a prescription and delivered free to your door, with help on prior authorization.

Ocrevus is a biologic medicine called a monoclonal antibody (a lab-made protein). It attaches to a marker called CD20 on certain immune cells (B cells) and lowers their number, which doctors think is how it works in multiple sclerosis (MS).

MedRx Infusion can fill Ocrevus with a prescription and deliver it free to your door.

What Ocrevus is prescribed for

Relapsing forms of multiple sclerosis (MS): adults with relapsing forms of multiple sclerosis (a disease where the immune system attacks the covering of nerves in the brain and spinal cord). This includes clinically isolated syndrome (a first episode of MS-like symptoms), relapsing-remitting MS (flare-ups followed by periods of recovery) and active secondary progressive MS (MS that slowly gets worse but still has flare-ups).
Primary progressive MS: adults with primary progressive MS (MS that slowly gets worse from the start, without clear flare-ups).
Relapsing-remitting MS in children: children 10 years and older who weigh at least 25 kg (about 55 pounds) and have relapsing-remitting MS.

A prescription is required. Your prescriber decides whether Ocrevus is right for you.

How Ocrevus is given

IV infusion, given by a healthcare professional.

The label calls for close supervision by an experienced healthcare professional, medicine beforehand to lower the risk of infusion reactions, and at least an hour of observation after each infusion. Your prescriber decides where you get it. When it can be given at home, we send a skilled nurse from an accredited nursing agency.

Before you start

Before the first dose, your prescriber may ask for:

a blood test for hepatitis B
a blood test of your immunoglobulin (antibody) levels
blood tests of your liver
a review of your vaccines, because some vaccines need to be given weeks before you start
a check for any active infection

Read the Medication Guide and the full Ocrevus prescribing information, and ask your prescriber or our pharmacists about side effects. Our pharmacists are on call 24 hours a day.
