Mavenclad / Cladribine and cancer — would you?

Need some advice. I was diagnosed with RRMS in June, discussions w neuro led to Mavenclad. I like the efficacy it promises, and is something that my hospitalisation insurance will likely be able to cover. Daily meds… would not. However!

Ocrelizumab (Ocrevus), Ofatumumab(Kesimpta) or Cladribine (Mavenclad)

I was diagnosed with RRMS recently and have been asked to consider the following DMTs. Any thoughts on people's experiences with them would be helpful. I'm really active (runner and triathlete) so want to also understand how the drugs might impact my exercise. thanks

Mavenclad symptoms or possibly menopause

Hi, Not sure if my symptoms are my Mavenclad or possibly menopause. If you are on Mavenclad, has anyone had a reaction once they had their second dose? My bloods went very low and still low. They said mavenclad should stop new MS symptoms but definitely not with me. First dose all good then the se...

Anyone taking Mavenclad on this group. I am still debating whether to start Mavenclad or Kesimpta, I met with my MS nurse and I am even more confused. For sure I do not want infusions. Thanks sharing your experience on Mavenclad.

Cladrabine (Mavenclad) Hair Loss

I know I shouldn’t be so vain, but about to start Mavenclad and worried about the ‘hair loss’. Anyone else had this? Is it thinning or going completely bald? Does it grow back? I was on Aubagio which had a similar side effect, although it didn’t seem to effect me. Thanks
