A recent study found that MMF and AZA were equally effective in improving patients' quality of life, but because AZA had more serious adverse events than MMF, lower doses of AZA were therefore recommended to reduce the adverse events while maintaining efficacy. Conversely, results showed that MMF is effective and well-tolerated in the long-term management of MG, providing faster symptom control and a favorable safety profile. Future prospective studies with larger cohorts are needed to confirm these findings and explore sex differences in response to MMF treatment.
