Has Anyone Shifted From Cellcept To One Of The New Biologics? And, If So, What Was Your Experience.

A MGteam Member asked a question 💭
Cocoa, FL

I had acute onset of MG with serious exacerbations (on ventilator for a week) almost 4 years ago. After multiple rounds of plasma pheresis, steroids, etc., I was able to move to 2000 mg Cellcept daily as only meds and did quite well. Recently, however, I have noticed a return in fatigue and weakness and will be seeing my neurologist next week to consider altering medication. Thus my question about shift from Cellcept to one of the new biologics. Thank you.
