    Hypotension

    2 days after my 2nd dose of Ocrevus, my blood pressure dropped to about 90/60. I didn't' see this as one of the side effects and definitely wasn't told about it. After a quick internet search, I found that in the UK and Europe Ocrevus patients may be warned to skip their BP meds prior to their infusions. I'll mention it to the infusion center if they call or with my next infusion and I'll watch my BP in the next couple of days. I can easily skip a couple of doses.

    Other than that, all is well. I'm very happy to be free of taking any MS meds for the next 6 months!

    Lots of luck KatW! Smart to check the UK/EU protocol. If your center doesn't recommend it and you experience the same low BP after the next one,maybe try following the protocol on your own after discussing with your neuro.

    I thought about switching from Ty to Ocrevus for the convenience, but since stable, staying put.
