Intravenous Immunoglobulins (IVIG)

Intravenous Immunoglobulin (IVIG), also called immunoglobulin replacement therapy, is a treatment made from antibodies collected from healthy blood donors. Antibodies are natural proteins in the blood that protect your body from illness and infection. Receiving this treatment through an IV helps support your immune system if it is weakened or not working properly. Here, you can learn about what to expect during infusions, how this therapy fits into your care plan, and how to manage potential side effects. You can also connect with other patients and caregivers to share practical tips for navigating daily life with IVIG therapy.
