What infusion treatments are available for generalized MG with severe symptoms like yours?
Several infusion options can help manage generalized MG, especially when symptoms are severe. The specific medication depends on your antibody status and individual needs.
Common infusion treatments include:
* Complement inhibitors - These include eculizumab (Soliris), ravulizumab (Ultomiris), and zilucoplan (Zilbrysq), which block parts of the immune system contributing to MG symptoms. Some are approved specifically for people who test positive for AChR antibodies.
* FcRn blockers - Medications like rozanolixizumab-noli (Rystiggo) and efgartigimod (Vygart) are approved for people with AChR or MuSK antibodies. These can be given as IV infusions, with some available as subcutaneous injections.
* IVIG (Intravenous Immunoglobulin) - This concentrated antibody infusion temporarily alters how your immune system makes antibodies and can help with worsening symptoms.
* Plasma exchange (plasmapheresis) - This procedure removes abnormal antibodies from your blood, though improvement is temporary (lasting weeks to months).
Many MGteam members have shared experiences with these treatments. Success varies by individual, but these therapies are designed to reduce severe symptoms like the fatigue and double vision you're experiencing.
Your neurologist will consider your antibody status, symptom severity, and how you've responded to other medications when recommending which infusion treatment might work best for you.
