Suggest Alternative To Mestinon And CellCept For Myasthenia Gravis
I am a 73 year old woman. I was diagnosed with MG six years ago. I am on Mestinon and Cellcept. I get apheresis every other week, I am not getting any worse and I certainly my not getting any better. I heard that there may be some chemotherapy drugs that doctors are trying now on some MG patients and they are doing fairly well with it. Have you hear anything regarding any new drugs that are being offered to MG patients?

Hope I have answered your query.
