What does the ocrelizumab label say about teriflunomide?

Ocrelizumab label, drug interactions

When switching from drugs with prolonged immune effects, such as daclizumab, fingolimod, natalizumab, teriflunomide, or mitoxantrone, consider the duration and mode of action of these drugs because of additive immunosuppressive effects when initiating OCREVUS [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2) ].

What does the teriflunomide label say about ocrelizumab?

Teriflunomide's label (effective February 20, 2026) does not name ocrelizumab in these sections. A label lists what its studies and reports found; it is not a complete list.

These are the labels' own sentences. PlainMeds does not grade interactions; a pharmacist or prescriber can say what they mean for one person's medicines.
