Vyvgart (efgartigimod alfa-fcab)

• Generalized myasthenia gravis (gMG): adults with generalized myasthenia gravis (an immune disease that causes muscle weakness in many parts of the body). Both Vyvgart and Vyvgart Hytrulo are approved for this.
• Chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP): adults with CIDP (a nerve disease that causes weakness and numbness, mostly in the arms and legs). Only Vyvgart Hytrulo, the shot under the skin, is approved for this.

A prescription is required. Your prescriber decides whether Vyvgart is right for you.

IV infusion, given by a healthcare professional. When your prescriber agrees it can be given at home, we send a skilled nurse from an accredited nursing agency to give it.

Injection under the skin, given by a healthcare professional, or you or a caregiver after training. A nurse can show you or a caregiver how to give it.

Storage: If you inject Vyvgart Hytrulo at home, keep the prefilled syringe in the refrigerator in its original carton to protect it from light, and do not freeze or shake it. If needed, it can stay in the carton at room temperature (up to 86°F) one time, for up to 30 days.

Before the first dose, your prescriber may ask for:

• a review of your vaccines before each treatment cycle
• a check for any active infection
