IVIG
We offer a variety of IVIG therapies including, Gamunex, Gammagard, Octagam, Bivigim, Privigen, and Panzyga.
IVIG is made up of immunoglobulin, a protein in human blood plasma. Immunoglobulin are antibodies that fight off intruder cells as part of the immune system response. There are many types of immunoglobulins including IgM, IgG, IgD, IgA, and IgE.
IVIG is isolated, concentrated, and created from plasma blood donations and given to people with weak immune systems to help them fight off infections, or to treat inflammatory conditions and neurological disorders.
