Hello DD,
I’ve been on Vyvgart since November 2022. I have gone to an ambulatory infusion center during that time. I have 1 infusion per week for 4 weeks and then I’m off for 72 days between cycles. This usually means that I have about 5 cycles per calendar year.
Vyvgart is not my only medication for MG. I also use Methotrexate 40 mg once per week. My MG-ADL score is about a 3 generally after the infusion cycle.
If you’re looking at how Vyvgart works it’s very good at flushing out the bad IgG from your system so as it doesn’t attach itself to your acetylcholine receptor sites and cause damage.
In my opinion and experience you and your doctor should give any new medication at least 3 or 4 infusion cycles to get the full effect of the medication.
I hope that this helps you in your decision making process.
