Dr. Brian Staiger, PharmD, BCPS
Dr. Brian Staiger explains PharmD, Clinical Pharmacist

Here's the idea behind this pairing. Sutimlimab (Enjaymo) is an infused antibody that quiets one part of your immune system, the complement pathway, to protect red blood cells in cold agglutinin disease. Fermented milk, like yogurt or kefir, contains live cultures that may gently stimulate immune activity. So in theory, the food could nudge your immune system in the opposite direction from what the medicine is trying to do, possibly trimming a bit of its benefit.

I want to be honest: this is theoretical only, based on how things work in the lab, not on real cases with this drug. Normal food amounts of yogurt are very unlikely to derail your treatment. If you have cold agglutinin disease, keep an eye on tiredness or low-energy spells and check with your doctor or pharmacist before changing anything.
