Has anyone with MG tried Wegovy (semaglutide) and what were their experiences?
There isn't specific information available about MGteam members' experiences with Wegovy (semaglutide) in relation to myasthenia gravis. This is a great question to bring up with your MG specialist before trying it.
Here's why that conversation matters:
- Some MG medications, like corticosteroids, can contribute to weight gain, which may be why this is on your radar
- Any new medication can potentially interact with existing MG treatments
- Your neurologist can weigh the benefits and risks based on your specific treatment plan
It's always worth asking your MG care team before adding any new medication, even ones prescribed by a different doctor. Keeping everyone on the same page is key to staying safe.
