Currently living in Illinois moved from Greenville SC 2020 where Dr. Sarmiento had me on Hizentra for low IgG & IgM levels. Yes I have MG. In 2017 I was in ICU Greenville Hospital a doctor did some research and found a clinical trial happening in Canada as hizentra related to MG patients. Never did find out results of clinical trial.
Now in answer to your question, I was on Hizentra 4 years subcutaneous and it went well. I was never ill – I felt the best in years on Hizentra. I had no side effects from it and I am currently waiting for Medicare to make up their mind as it relates to my going back on Hizentra. Not being on it for 3 years, I now have a bacterial infection, walking pneumonia and chronic bronchitis. Unfortunately for me I will be on it forever. Good luck.

US  I’m on prednisone for over 14 years  Down to 2.5mg  But also on Cellcept 2500mg daily which I understand will replace the prednisone when I am finally off it.  My body tolerates Cellcept so I am lucky.  I agree with others – be careful what muscular physician bring referred.  My mg neurologist handles all.  Good Luck
