Back when the ABCR drugs were pretty much what we had to choose from, none of them was specified as being for SPMS though Betaseron may have been approved (if I recall) for some people, and even so, the doctors were prescribing the ABCR drugs for people with SPMS on the offchance that they just might help. I know because two different neuros prescribed them for me even though I had no new lesions and no enhancing ones and had had SPMS for many years.

So are the doctors prescribing Ocrevus for SPMS that isn't considered active? I've been wondering.
