I'm doing the Ocrevus infusion every 6 months and my doc is suggesting I switch to Kesimpta. She's expecting me to research it and tell her what I want to do. I just don't see how that decision is left up to me to both research and determine if I want to switch. For me, if I have decide I'd stick with the Ocrevus. I did the daily subcutaneous injection with one of the earlier medications used for M.S. and though I didn't mind doing it then, my hand dexteraty isn't so good.

However I do take issue with your cost comparisons. The last time I got the infusion I had to pay a 20% co-pay, and they billed my infusion center over $100,000.00 and that was for one infusion. Previously the Genetec Foundation was giving me the Ocrevus at NO cost. I'm straightening that out now but it's a real hassle. But my point here, is to compare the cost. If I had to pay over $2,000 for each infusion I don't know what I'd do.

Sometimes some drug companies have a coupon for $15. You cannot get the coupon if you have Medicare. But, if you have other insurances, call manufacturer of your drug and see if they offer the coupon.
