Congratulations to all of the MS patients who have been patiently waiting for the approval of this drug in the US. After a couple month delay, Ocrevus was approved by the FDA today. It has been listed that patients may be able to get the drug as soon as 2 weeks. Although I was lucky enough to get into a trial and get the drug early, it is comforting to know that it will be available as soon as the study is completed. Now, the question is how much?
