Myasthenia Gravis Medications

Key takeaways

Medications for myasthenia gravis are used to treat this condition. These medications may also have other uses. They work by improving the nerve signal transmission to muscles or by modulating the immune system. Common classes include cholinesterase inhibitors and monoclonal antibodies. Cholinesterase inhibitors like pyridostigmine (Mestinon) are usually taken as oral pills. Monoclonal antibodies, such as Vyvgart (efgartigimod alfa) and Rystiggo (rozanolixizumab), are typically given as injections. These options provide different ways to help manage your symptoms effectively.

ECULIZUMAB treats certain blood conditions that can cause low levels of red blood cells (anemia) and blood clots, such as atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome (aHUS) and paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH). It works by slowing down an overactive immune system, which reduces the breakdown of red blood cells. It also prevents blood cells (platelets) from forming a clot. It may also be used to treat a condition that causes muscles to easily weaken or fatigue (myasthenia gravis).
