Chicken pox and measles, for example, can have a more serious or even fatal course in children on immunosuppressant corticosteroids.

Patients who are on immunosuppressant doses of corticosteroids should be warned to avoid exposure to chicken pox or measles and, if exposed, to obtain medical advice.

Children who are on immunosuppressant drugs are more susceptible to infections than healthy children.

In multiple sclerosis (MS) clinical trials, all adult and pediatric patients who were treated with OCREVUS received premedication with methylprednisolone (or an equivalent steroid), and may have also received an antihistamine (all pediatric patients) and/or an analgesic/antipyretic to reduce the risk of infusion reactions prior to each infusion.

Reducing the Risk of Infusion Reactions and Managing Infusion Reactions Administer pre-medication (e.g., methylprednisolone or an equivalent corticosteroid, and an antihistamine) to reduce the frequency and severity of infusion reactions.

Immunosuppressive or Immune-Modulating Therapies The concomitant use of OCREVUS and other immune-modulating or immunosuppressive therapies, including immunosuppressant doses of corticosteroids, is expected to increase the risk of immunosuppression.

Systemic corticosteroids were required in many of these patients.
