- Jacqui was prescribed Kesimpta (ofatumumab) shortly after #NICE approved it for use in the UK. She takes us through her experiences from choosing to using. Spoiler alert: she loves it!
Professor Gavin Giovannoni has just written at some length about the choice between ofatumumab (Kesimpta) and ocrelizumab (Ocrevus) here: gavingiovannoni.substack.com/... A very accessible piece and as little technicalities as possible. A worthwhile read.

Self-injection is no fun
I'm in the UK, been on it since December 2021 with no issues. I think it's amazing, so easy to use.
Thanks for de video and the info!! In Spain its not available for the moment (at least not in my hospital) but I think It will be soon
I’m on Kesimpta and I take it every 4th week which is every 28 days. Sometimes it can make me feel rubbish and others it really helps. Next one is my 10th jab and I think it’s doing wonders
I was diagnosed in July 2021 (UK based) and was offered Ocrevis or Kesimpta (by offered I was sent two glossy brochures produced by the manufacturers) and told to pick one. With the help of UA-cam I chose Kesimpta and started with the jabs in December 2021. It’s really easy to administer, it doesn’t hurt - initially it feels like pinging an elastic band against your skin but that lasts 1 second if that and I’ve also been quite lucky with no side effects. I would echo Jacqui’s comments that it doesn’t disrupt your life and although I’m new to this it seems to be the main aim for anything MS related.
I am in the states and Kesimpta is an injectable here and prescribed the same.
