Vyvgart vs Ultomeris

Mycophenolate is an immunosuppressant similar to the azathioprine taken regularly by many MG patients. It reduces the production of all anti-bodies, including the bad one. It's a non-steroidal, low cost first line defense and usually tried before the expensive new meds like Vyvgart. But because an immunosuppressant takes several months to work, Vyvgart is sometimes used as a stop-gap med to suppress your symptoms until AZA starts to work. Once it starts working, prednisone and pyridostigmine can usually be tapered down.

Doc said it suppresses the immune system. Seems that is what most of these meds do in one way or another. I was diagnosed last year, so not the most knowledgeable person on here. Really interested if it is smart to get glasses, as the doc says my left eye is still moving a little bit. Double vision is a pain. i was also on 60 mg of prednisone, stuff drove me crazy. On my last month down to 5 mg.

I have only had vyvgart, but found I am allergic to it. They are giving me 50 mg of steroids with each injection, and only have to be on it for 6 months. Every other month I get an injection a week, with the steroids after. The mycophenolate was increased today to 2000 mg, Dr said after the 6 months the mycophenolate will be working and I can stop the vyvgart. Looking forward to getting off all steroids.
