Myasthenia Gravis Treatment

Myasthenia Gravis is a condition where the immune system mistakenly attacks the connections between nerve and muscle, causing weakness. Treatments aim to improve communication and reduce immune activity. Medications like cholinesterase inhibitors help muscles work better. Immunosuppressants lower immune response, reducing attack on nerves. Plasmapheresis and intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) can remove or block harmful immune factors temporarily. In some cases, thymectomy (removal of the thymus gland) helps improve symptoms. Overall, treatment plans are personalized to control symptoms, improve strength, and enhance quality of life.
