What is Ocrevus Zunovo?

Ocrevus Zunovo (ocrelizumab and hyaluronidase) is an FDA-approved injection used to treat:

Relapsing forms of multiple sclerosis (RMS), including clinically isolated syndrome, relapsing-remitting disease, and active secondary progressive disease
Primary progressive multiple sclerosis (PPMS)

Ocrevus Zunovo works by targeting and removing specific immune cells (B cells) that play a role in damaging the nervous system in MS. By reducing these immune cells, Ocrevus Zunovo helps lower inflammation and slow the progression of the disease.

How Often Do I Need Ocrevus Zunovo Injections?

Patients typically receive Ocrevus Zunovo injections every 6 months.

Your first appointment usually takes about 60 minutes, broken down approximately as follows:

Check-in & forms: ~10-15 min
Preparation: ~5–10 min
Medication administration: <5 min
Post-treatment monitoring: ~15-30 min

How Do I Prepare for My Ocrevus Zunovo Injection?

Here’s how you should prepare for your appointment:

Consult Your Healthcare Provider

Medical History Review: Ensure your healthcare provider has a complete and up-to-date medical history, including any allergies, current medications, and past reactions to other medications. Your doctor will have sent these records to Haven Infusion beforehand.
Pre-Appointment Testing: Complete any required blood tests or other pre-appointment tests as recommended by your healthcare provider.

Pre-Infusion Medications

Prescription Pre-Medications: You may require pre-medications to reduce the risk of a reaction or adverse event. Your referring provider will include any pre-medications when sending in your prescription order to Haven. Your Haven Infusion clinician will have these ready for you as part of your appointment.
Regular Medications: If you take other medications on a regular basis, be sure to consult with your doctor to see if you need to change how you take them while on Ocrevus Zunovo.

Hydration and Nutrition

Hydrate: Drink plenty of water in the days leading up to your injection to ensure you are well-hydrated. If you are a regular caffeine drinker, go lighter the morning of, since caffeine is dehydrating.
Eat Light: Have a light meal before your injection to help maintain your energy levels during the procedure.

Plan for Transportation

Arrange a Ride: Depending on the medication and your reaction to the injection, you might not feel well enough to drive yourself home. Consider arranging for someone to drive you or use a ride service.

By following these steps, you can help ensure that your injection is as safe and comfortable as possible. Always follow the specific instructions provided by your healthcare team.

Does Ocrevus Zunovo Have Any Side Effects?

Most patients tolerate Ocrevus Zunovo well. If a patient does have side effects, the most common ones are redness, itching or swelling where the injection occurred.

If you have concerns about side effects, please feel free to discuss them with your doctor before starting treatment. As a specialist in infusion care, Haven Infusion operates with comprehensive and well-established safety protocols, and we are happy to share them with you.

How Much Does Ocrevus Zunovo Cost?

Coverage varies depending on your insurance plan. Our goal is to lower your out-of-pocket costs as much as possible. When your doctor sends us your information, we will verify your benefits and help you find assistance programs that you qualify for.

We always review your expected out-of-pocket costs with you before scheduling your first appointment to ensure full transparency. And, if you have any questions or need help understanding how your insurance works, feel free to ask.
