KESIMPTA or OCREVUS - PML
Hi, I need some advice on KESIMPTA and OCREVUS. I know they both cause infections, including brain infection PML! Does anyone can say something about those drugs and PML (from experience)?
Many Thanks!

The risk of PML with both is extremely rare - I think there’s been 2 or 3 cases globally with Ocrevus & I think I’m right in saying that Ocrevus was not their first DMT. There have been no recorded cases with Kesimpta. Tysabri is the DMT that carries the biggest risk of PML
I watched this yesterday which helped clarify my decision of ocrevus or Kesimpta. Think it’ll help with your Q too as it’s ok if the questions asked. https://youtu.be/gvCNUeIO_aA
