What is ocrevus used for?

What conditions is Ocrevus (ocrelizumab) used to treat?

Ocrevus is used for treating certain autoimmune diseases that affect the brain and spinal cord, specifically multiple sclerosis (MS). It is approved for both forms of MS:
- Relapsing forms of MS (to reduce relapses and disease activity)
- Primary progressive MS (to slow disability progression)

How does Ocrevus work in MS?

Ocrevus (ocrelizumab) is an immunotherapy that targets CD20-positive B cells. By reducing or depleting these immune cells, it helps limit the immune-driven inflammation seen in MS.

Who might be prescribed Ocrevus?

Ocrevus is typically considered for people with MS who have:
- Relapsing disease activity, or
- Primary progressive MS, with the goal of slowing worsening over time

Is Ocrevus used for anything besides multiple sclerosis?

Based on the information provided here, Ocrevus is used for multiple sclerosis (relapsing forms and primary progressive MS).
