Anyone take new drug Camzyos (mavacamten) for HCM?

I am feeling good today. 🙂

You and I are on the same schedule. My 1st Echo since starting this drug is also next friday. I'm feeling great, so I'm sure it will be fine.

Good morning-I have been feeling so great-but then yesterday I got really dizzy and felt like I was going to faint. I am a teacher and this happened in my classroom. The nurse came and had me lay down on the floor with my feet on a chair. My blood pressure was a bit low, but then went up when I sat up. I still feel a bit dizzy today. I hope it stops soon! This is my 22nd day.

Absolutely it is a step forward, my cardiologist gave me an option of open Heart surgery but I opted for this medicine to try in first place. In three weeks I will have my first ECG. In the long run if LVOT gradient ratio improves and Regurgitation disappears then I will be considering myself lucky that I started taking Camzyos.

Hi! I am also 58 and was having your exact trouble. I started 3 weeks ago and cannot believe how good I feel! I am now able to walk too! I feel like I am getting my life back! I am having my first ECG next Friday. I am so thankful for this medication and the ability to help so many people! 🙂

Hi I am 58 years old from Calgary, have HCM for over a decade, I followed this medicine trial and results over the past two years and my cardiologist put me on Mavacampten last week, so far no side effects at all and breathing improved very well, it's been a while since I felt comfortable walking. I could not walk a block without taking a break. I wish Camzyos be beneficial for everyone using it.

Hello from Victoria! I am 2 months plus into Camzyos and it continues to be very beneficial. I have had 2 ECGs since I started and I guess all looks fine as my dose of 5mgs has been maintained. I am happy to hear that you are also benefitting. Such a nice change!

That’s great news! I’m having the same success! I started the same time you did! 😊

Hi All, I thought I'd chime in on this topic. I'm from Vancouver Canada and just started on Camzyos March 31st. It's been almost 2 weeks and no side effects that I've noticed, and the upside is that I already feel better and able to walk significantly further without needing to stop to catch my breath.

Good morning! I am really feeling good! My shortness of breath is gone! I was able to go on 2 walks-Wednesday for 30 minutes, with no shortness of breath or wheezing. I felt good when I got home too. It has been so long since I have been able to take a walk! Thursday I went again, by myself this time and I took my dog. Not so good that day-he kept pulling on the leash and it was too much for me. I started to feel a bit winded, so went back to the car after about 20 minutes. I won't take him again! I am going to try to play pickle ball this afternoon! We will see how that goes... I really hope you start to feel a difference soon! Thank you for checking in. 🙂
