Can you get ocrevus if you have a sore throat?

I am supposed to get my first half dose tomorrow and my nose feels stuffy and throat feels sore. Was thinking i should go to a walk in doctor today

I got an infusion last winter while I had a lingering cough from a cold. They asked if I was sick and I said no. The risk is that your body might not be able to fight it off after the infusion. If they suspect that you are sick, they probably won't give it to you.

Thank you!

Were you able to fight it off?

[Iona60 in reply to mm1527mm]

Yes, but I had been to a walk in place the week before and it was viral.

I think i will go to a walk in just to make sure being that it is my first infusion. Do antibiotics not work if you are on ocrevus?

That's a good question. Wish I knew. Good luck.
