Corticosteroids for myasthenia gravis

Clinical features and evolution of juvenile myasthenia gravis in a French cohort

“…An objective assessment of the effectiveness of this treatment requires further study in children, along with longer follow‐up. Corticosteroids usually improve the symptoms of patients with JMG . However, the main problem in our study was the very high rate of steroid dependence (73%).…”

“…Corticosteroids usually improve the symptoms of patients with JMG. 6,33,54 However, the main problem in our study was the very high rate of steroid dependence (73%). This has been associated with numerous side effects, including growth retardation, particularly in younger patients.…”

Initiation response, maximized therapeutic efficacy, and post-treatment effects of biological targeted therapies in myasthenia gravis: a systematic review and network meta-analysis

“…However, there was a lack of high-quality and evidence-based studies supporting the use of these drugs. Previous randomized controlled trials comparing corticosteroids, azathioprine, and tacrolimus with placebos did not yield significantly positive results ( 31 – 34 ). Despite this, these drugs are widely used in the real world.…”
