VYVGART Hytrulo is injected in treatment cycles with a personalized break between cycles

Each treatment cycle is 4 injections, 1 given each week (4 injections per cycle). After each cycle, you'll have a personalized break—that is, your time off between receiving treatment cycles. The safety of starting the next treatment cycle sooner than 4 weeks from the last injection of the previous treatment cycle has not been established.

The 5 steps of your VYVGART Hytrulo subcutaneous injection

01

Check in

Once you get to your treatment location, check in with the staff and confirm your insurance information.

Receive your injection

A healthcare professional will inject VYVGART Hytrulo subcutaneously into an area of pinched skin on your abdomen over ~30 to 90 seconds. A different area of your abdomen will be used for subsequent injections of VYVGART Hytrulo.

04

Stay for monitoring

You will be monitored for injection site reactions and other side effects for at least 30 minutes after your injection. Consider bringing something to pass the time.
