My doctor is wanting to switch me from Ultomiris to Vyvgart. I wanted to know if there is anyone who has made the same switch - would like to hear about your experience - good / bad? Also, looking for pros and cons to Vyvgart.

      I have had NO side effects with vyvgart. Was thinking about switching to Ultomiris but decide the possible side effects were greater. I think both are good

          Thank you so much! I have decided to take the leap and try Vyvgart. My Ultomiris
          infusions wear off on average after 6 weeks. That makes for a miserable two weeks after every cycle. Vyvgart may or may not improve the situation, but I HAVE to find out.

            I take it again as soon as 40 to 45 days after last infusion. Dr. says it is OK
