Immunoglobulin therapy (IVIG) is a critical treatment option for individuals with autoimmune, neurological, or immune deficiency disorders. But what does it involve, and who really benefits from it?
What Is Immunoglobulin Therapy?
IVIG involves infusing a mixture of antibodies into the bloodstream to help the immune system function better. It’s often used when the body can’t produce enough antibodies naturally.
Conditions Commonly Treated with IVIG
1. Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyneuropathy (CIDP)
2. Myasthenia Gravis
3. Multifocal Motor Neuropathy (MMN)
4. Common Variable Immunodeficiency (CVID)
What to Expect During IVIG Treatment
IVIG treatments are typically administered every few weeks. Side effects are minimal, and the comfort of home-based administration can reduce stress and anxiety for patients.
