What is Kesimpta (ofatumumab)?
Kesimpta is the brand name for ofatumumab, a prescription medicine used to treat multiple sclerosis (MS). It targets a specific immune cell type by binding to CD20, which helps reduce the activity of B cells involved in MS.
What does “Kesimpta” mean for people with MS?
Kesimpta is used to control MS disease activity by lowering B-cell activity. That can help reduce relapses and help limit new or worsening lesions seen on imaging, depending on the person’s MS type and treatment history.
How is Kesimpta taken (if you mean dosing)?
Kesimpta is given by injection. People typically start with a dosing period that builds up to the regular maintenance schedule, then continue ongoing injections according to their clinician’s plan.
What side effects do people ask about?
Common concerns with B-cell–targeting therapies generally include injection-site reactions and infection risk, since lowering B-cell activity can affect immune response. Anyone using Kesimpta should talk with their clinician about warning signs of infection and what to do if they feel sick.
Are there alternatives to Kesimpta?
There are other MS disease-modifying therapies (including other B-cell–directed options and different classes). Which alternative fits best usually depends on the person’s MS type, prior treatments, risk factors for infection, and convenience preferences.
