I had an appointment with a new MS neurologist today since I have had less than favorable interactions with my first MS neurologist. I really liked the new doctor and the clinic. The new neurologist did say that he prefers the higher dose, longer acting DMTs (like Ocrevus and Briumvi) because they have been shown to have better effect on the B-cells everywhere in the body and not just the blood. He mentioned both IV Ocrevus and Sub Q Ocrevus Zunovo as viable options. I decided to go with the Zunovo (if insurance approves it). I really appreciated this new neurologist explaining everything and made it an easy decision to go forward with changing my care over to him.
I started on Tysabri and was on it for 8 months before I became JCV+ and my first neurologist required me to do one dose of IV Ocrevus before switching to Kesimpta. Which this new neurologist said the Ocrevus bridge wasn't necessary.
I have liked Kesimpta so far, so if insurance doesn't approve the Zunovo I will gladly stay on Kesimpta. Has anyone made the switch from Kesimpta to Zunovo? Or thoughts on Zunovo in general? I'm starting to do my research now, so I admittedly don't know much about the new medication.
