WHAT OCREVUS IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
WHAT OCREVUS IS
Ocrevus contains the active substance ‘ocrelizumab’. It is a type
of protein called a ‘monoclonal
antibody’. Antibodies work by attaching to specific targets in your
body.
WHAT OCREVUS IS USED FOR
Ocrevus is used to treat adults with:
•
Relapsing forms of multiple sclerosis (RMS)
•
Early primary progressive multiple sclerosis (PPMS)
WHAT IS MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS
Multiple Sclerosis (MS) affects the central nervous system, especially
the nerves in the brain and
spinal cord. In MS, the immune system (the body’s defence system)
works incorrectly and attacks a
protective layer (called myelin sheath) around nerve cells and causes
inflammation. Breakdown of the
myelin sheath stops the nerves working properly.
Symptoms of MS depend on which part of the central nervous system is
affected and can include
problems with walking and balance, weakness, numbness, double vision
and blurring, poor
coordination and bladder problems.
•
IN RELAPSING FORMS OF MS,
the patient has
repeated attacks of symptoms (relapses). The
symptoms can appear suddenly within a few hours, or slowly over
several days. The symptoms
disappear or improve between relapses but damage may build up and lead
to permanent
disability.

POSOLOGY AND METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION
Treatment should be initiated and supervised by specialised physicians
experienced in the diagnosis
and treatment of neurological conditions and who have access to
appropriate medical support to
manage severe reactions such as serious infusion-related reactions
(IRRs).
Premedication for infusion-related reactions
The following two premedications must be administered prior to each
ocrelizumab infusion to reduce
the frequency and severity of IRRs (see section 4.4 for additional
steps to reduce IRRs):
•
100 mg intravenous methylprednisolone (or an equivalent) approximately
30 minutes prior to
each infusion;
•
antihistamine approximately 30-60 minutes prior to each infusion;
In addition, premedication with an antipyretic (e.g., paracetamol) may
also be considered
approximately 30-60 minutes prior to each infusion.
