Nearly 1 million people in the United States live with multiple sclerosis (MS), a chronic condition that affects the brain, spinal cord, and immune system. Managing MS requires ongoing care and a commitment to treatment plans designed to reduce relapses and protect long-term function.
At Smart Infusion Therapy Services, we provide expert infusion care for patients across Wisconsin, including Eau Claire, Weston, Middleton, and Onalaska. Our infusion centers specialize in MS biologic therapies such as Briumvi, ensuring patients receive safe, comfortable, and personalized treatment. To begin your care journey, you can easily schedule a visit.
Consistency is key in MS care. In this blog, we’ll explore how staying on track with your Briumvi treatments can make a meaningful difference over time.
The Importance of Sticking to Your Treatment Plan
Managing MS isn’t about quick fixes; it’s about long-term strategy. Missing or delaying infusions can weaken the effectiveness of therapy and increase the risk of relapses. Briumvi (ublituximab-xiiy) works best when patients follow the recommended schedule: two starter doses followed by one infusion every six months.
Regular treatment helps maintain stable B-cell suppression, which reduces inflammation in the central nervous system. When patients stay consistent, their immune activity remains controlled, lowering the chances of new lesions or unexpected flare-ups.
How Regular Briumvi Use Supports Symptom Control
Briumvi belongs to a class of MS biologic therapies called anti-CD20 monoclonal antibodies. These therapies specifically target B cells, one of the immune cell types involved in MS progression. By reducing these overactive B cells, Briumvi provides steady protection against relapses.
Clinical studies have shown:
- Fewer annual relapses compared to standard MS treatment options.
- Reduced new lesions on MRI scans.
- A slower rate of disability progression.
Patients often report better MS symptom management when treatment is uninterrupted. Consistency helps minimize fatigue, balance problems, and cognitive flare-ups that can disrupt daily life.
Long-Term Improvements in Quality of Life
MS is unpredictable, but consistent treatment creates stability. Patients who maintain regular Briumvi infusions often experience:
- Greater confidence in planning work, family, or travel.
- More reliable physical function with fewer relapses.
- Peace of mind knowing that therapy is protecting long-term health.
While there are no new cures for MS yet, therapies like Briumvi represent an important new medicine for MS care by combining strong efficacy with a manageable schedule. Over time, this balance improves both physical and emotional well-being.
Real-World Examples of Sustained Treatment Success
In real-world clinical practice, many patients transitioning to Briumvi from other MS treatment options notice an improvement in infusion convenience and tolerance. Shorter infusion times, about one hour after the initial dose, mean less disruption to daily routines.
For example, a working parent may find that consistent Briumvi treatments allow them to maintain their job responsibilities without the extended clinic hours required by other therapies. Similarly, younger adults managing school or careers appreciate the twice-yearly maintenance schedule, which makes it easier to stay compliant over the long run.
Encouragement for Building Strong Treatment Habits
Starting a new infusion therapy can feel overwhelming, but building habits makes it easier. Patients benefit from:
- Scheduling infusions well in advance.
- Coordinating treatment days with supportive family or friends.
- Discussing any challenges with providers to adjust care plans if needed.
At Smart Infusion, our team supports patients at every step, from insurance approvals to comfortable infusion experiences. Staying consistent with your Briumvi schedule is one of the most reliable ways to take control of MS.
