These individual stories feature people who have taken BRIUMVI for their RMS – either as a first treatment or after trying other options. Hear why thousands of people, like Mandy, Alex and Meaghan, chose BRIUMVI to take on their RMS.
“When I found out that BRIUMVI was a 1-hour infusion twice a year after the starting dose, I was really drawn to choosing that as my DMT. I have two girls and it’s nice that I can get my infusions while they’re at school and it doesn’t interrupt my time with them.”

“I love doing anything I can possibly do outside. Aside from the 1-hour infusion time after the first dose, I did my own research, and I was impressed by the efficacy and the safety of BRIUMVI. That is what ultimately led my doctor and I to choose BRIUMVI.”

I started having eye issues including pain and severe light sensitivity. Then, one day, the left side of my body went numb. While I thought that was weird, nothing hurt, so I just kept going. I eventually got an appointment with a doctor, as it seemed to be getting worse. By that point, I couldn’t walk or stand up for long periods of time. My husband had to help me walking into the appointment. Thinking I might have a disease, the doctor sent me immediately for an MRI of my brain, cervical spine and T-spine, with and without contrast. He called me the next day and told me I had Relapsing Multiple Sclerosis. I had no idea what RMS was, and I was devastated.
It took me awhile to find the right MS specialist, but once I did, we began discussing treatment options. My first treatment was an injectable medication. I was hopeful. I really wanted that injectable medication to work. However, MRIs showed multiple active lesions after several months on that medication, so my MS specialist suggested switching medications.
After going over various treatment options, my neurologist suggested BRIUMVI. I was hesitant to switch at first, but my neurologist was very hopeful. She had several patients on it who had seen results. Based on my last MRI, my doctor feels like BRIUMVI is working for me. I didn’t have any active lesions or any new lesions.
My RMS diagnosis was tough, but I pulled out of that negative headspace by staying active. I want to show people that I have RMS, but RMS doesn’t have me. Getting on the right medication can make the difference! I’m thankful that my doctor suggested switching medications and I’m grateful to have a treatment that works for me!

I’ve been a teacher for over 20 years, and I’m a mother of 6 adult children. I’m a certified personal trainer as well as a nutrition coach, and recently I have taken an interest in cycling. I’ve cycled close to 2,000 miles on my bike and hope to continue to ride more over the years. Staying active is very important to me.

- Infection:
- Infections are a common side effect, and upper respiratory tract infections are one of the most common side effects of BRIUMVI.

Your healthcare provider should delay your treatment with BRIUMVI until your infection is gone.

If you have ever had hepatitis B virus infection, the hepatitis B virus may become active again during or after treatment with BRIUMVI. Hepatitis B virus becoming active again (called reactivation) may cause serious liver problems including liver failure or death. Your healthcare provider will monitor you if you are at risk for hepatitis B virus reactivation during treatment and after you stop receiving BRIUMVI.

PML can result in death or severe disability. Tell your healthcare provider right away if you have any new or worsening neurologic signs or symptoms. These symptoms may include weakness on one side of your body, loss of coordination in arms and legs, vision problems, changes in thinking and memory which may lead to confusion, and personality changes.
