Real world effectiveness of Mycophenolate-sodium therapy in patients at risk with Graves’ orbitopathy
While inactivation is most often achieved, the severity of the disease in form of fibrosis (lid retraction, motility) and proptosis is not reversed. Further rehabilitative surgery is needed and patients should still be closely monitored for DON. Other immunosuppressants could be more effective even in IVMP resistant GO and should be subject to randomized head-to-head trials.
