Using the MG-ADL scale to track your symptoms

The Myasthenia Gravis Activities of Daily Living (MG-ADL) scale assesses the impact of generalized myasthenia gravis (gMG) on daily functions by measuring 8 signs or symptoms that are commonly affected in gMG. 

Each item is measured on a 4-point scale, where a score of 0 represents normal function and a score of 3 represents the loss of ability to perform that function. Total scores range from 0 to 24 points, with a higher score showing more severe gMG.

gMG=generalized myasthenia gravis; MG-ADL=Myasthenia Gravis Activities of Daily Living

gMG symptoms can be different for everyone

Muscle weakness from gMG can cause a range of symptoms. Some people may experience certain groups of symptoms more often—or more severely—than others. They may even experience symptoms from more than 1 of these groups more regularly. If any of these symptom groups sound familiar, download the educational guides to learn more.

Face, mouth, and throat

  • Talking
  • Chewing
  • Swallowing

Breathing

  • Breathing problems like shortness of breath

Limbs and neck

  • Brushing teeth or combing hair
  • Getting up from a chair

Eyes and vision

Do not use VYVGART HYTRULO if you have a serious allergy to efgartigimod alfa, hyaluronidase, or any of the other ingredients in VYVGART HYTRULO. VYVGART and VYVGART HYTRULO can cause serious allergic reactions and a decrease in blood pressure leading to fainting.

VYVGART and VYVGART HYTRULO may cause serious side effects, including:

  • Infection. VYVGART and VYVGART HYTRULO may increase the risk of infection. The most common infections for efgartigimod alfa-fcab-treated patients were urinary tract and respiratory tract infections. Signs or symptoms of an infection may include fever, chills, frequent and/or painful urination, cough, pain and blockage of nasal passages/sinus, wheezing, shortness of breath, fatigue, sore throat, excess phlegm, nasal discharge, back pain, and/or chest pain.
  • Allergic Reactions (hypersensitivity reactions). VYVGART and VYVGART HYTRULO can cause allergic reactions such as rashes, swelling under the skin, and shortness of breath. Hives were also observed in patients treated with VYVGART HYTRULO. Serious allergic reactions, such as trouble breathing and decrease in blood pressure leading to fainting have been reported with efgartigimod alfa-fcab.
  • Infusion-Related Reactions. VYVGART and VYVGART HYTRULO can cause infusion-related reactions. The most frequent symptoms and signs reported with efgartigimod alfa-fcab were high blood pressure, chills, shivering, and chest, abdominal, and back pain.

Tell your doctor if you have signs or symptoms of an infection, allergic reaction, or infusion-related reaction. These can happen while you are receiving your VYVGART or VYVGART HYTRULO treatment or afterward. Your doctor may need to pause or stop your treatment. Contact your doctor immediately if you have signs or symptoms of a serious allergic reaction.

What is VYVGART® (efgartigimod alfa-fcab) for intravenous (IV) infusion and what is VYVGART® HYTRULO (efgartigimod alfa and hyaluronidase-qvfc) for subcutaneous injection?

VYVGART and VYVGART HYTRULO are both prescription medicines, each used to treat a condition called generalized myasthenia gravis, which causes muscles to tire and weaken easily throughout the body, in adults who are positive for antibodies directed toward a protein called acetylcholine receptor (anti-AChR antibody positive).
