What is vyvgart used for?

Vyvgart is a prescription medication used to treat seizures in adults and children ages 4 years and older with Lennox-Gastaut syndrome. It is typically used in combination with other medications to control seizures. Vyvgart works by blocking certain types of nerve signals in the brain that can cause seizures.

Vyvgart comes in the form of oral tablets or a liquid suspension that is taken by mouth. The dosage of Vyvgart will be tailored to each individual based on factors such as age, weight, and the severity of their seizures.

Some common side effects of Vyvgart may include drowsiness, dizziness, headache, and changes in appetite. It is important to follow the dosing instructions provided by your healthcare provider and report any side effects to them promptly.

As with any medication, Vyvgart may interact with other medications or medical conditions, so it is important to discuss your medical history and current medications with your healthcare provider before starting Vyvgart. Additionally, it is essential to follow up regularly with your healthcare provider to monitor the effectiveness of Vyvgart and make any necessary adjustments to your treatment plan.
