5 reasons to talk to your doctor about VYVGART


#1 prescribed branded biologic treatments for gMG*

Based on data for adults with anti-AChR antibody positive gMG

2x as many patients vs placebo saw improved daily abilities in the first treatment cycle

In a study for adults with anti-AChR antibody positive gMG:

  • 68% (44 of 65) of patients who added VYVGART for intravenous (IV) infusion to their current oral gMG treatment significantly improved their daily abilities
  • Compared to 30% (19 of 64) of patients who added placebo to their current oral gMG treatment
  • Results measured by the Myasthenia Gravis Activities of Daily Living (MG-ADL) scale in treatment cycle 1 (by week 8)

Most common side effects include respiratory and urinary tract infections and headache. See more Important Safety Information below.

“No two of us are alike. My plan is specific to me and your plan should be specific to you.”

3 ways to receive treatment:

  • Self-injection with the VYVGART Hytrulo prefilled syringe by you or a caregiver‡§
  • Injection by your doctor with VYVGART Hytrulo for subcutaneous injection at an infusion center, doctor's office, or at home
  • IV infusion with VYVGART at an infusion center, doctor’s office, or at home

4 treatments, 1 given each week is considered a VYVGART treatment cycle

You and your doctor will decide how much time you need between each treatment cycle based on your gMG symptoms and side effects. You should track your symptoms regularly throughout treatment on VYVGART.

~5 years since the approval of VYVGART

In December 2021, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved VYVGART for IV infusion for adults with gMG.

“I feel motivated to stay on VYVGART to see how far this takes me.”
