October 2017 Soliris was approved for patients that didn't respond to traditional treatment. I was approved by my insurance company and began IV's with Soliris 7 weeks ago. Since it is a new drug for MG there is no history to draw on to know what to expect. Case study information has been limited for patients and Dr's. My case manager for Soliris says to expect it to take about three months to see results. Just curious if anyone else has not reaponded to traditional treatment and what has your Dr recommended?
