IGIV: Intravenous Immunoglobulin

Product Introduction

Intravenous Immunoglobulin (IGIV) is a plasma product prepared from the pooled plasma of thousands of donors. It contains a broad spectrum of antibodies and is administered intravenously. IGIV plays a crucial role in the treatment of various autoimmune, infectious, and idiopathic diseases by providing the necessary antibodies to fight against the pathogens or to modulate the immune system.

Uses of IGIV

IGIV is used in the treatment and management of:

Immune deficiencies where patients do not produce enough antibodies.
Autoimmune and inflammatory diseases, such as immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) and Kawasaki disease.
Certain infections in individuals with weakened immune systems.
Prevention of infections in patients undergoing stem cell transplantation.

Benefits of IGIV

Provides immediate immune support by supplying antibodies.
Helps in modulating the immune system, thereby beneficial in treating autoimmune diseases.
Can reduce the severity and duration of infections in immunocompromised patients.
Versatile in treating a wide range of conditions due to the broad spectrum of antibodies.

Side Effects of IGIV

While IGIV is beneficial, it may cause side effects in some individuals:

Mild reactions such as headache, fever, chills, and muscle aches.
Moderate reactions including rash, chest discomfort, and joint pain.
Rare but severe side effects like anaphylaxis, aseptic meningitis, and thromboembolic events.

How to Use IGIV

IGIV administration should be carried out by a healthcare professional:

Dosage and frequency depend on the individual’s condition and body weight.
Administered through an IV line, usually over several hours.
Patients are monitored during and after the infusion for any adverse reactions.

How IGIV Works

IGIV works by:

Supplying antibodies that the patient’s body is lacking, directly fighting off infections.
Modulating the immune system, either by enhancing an underactive immune response or by suppressing an overactive immune system.

Storage

IGIV should be stored in a refrigerator at 2°C to 8°C.
Do not freeze as it can damage the product.
Keep away from light and ensure the integrity of the packaging before use.

Caution and Warning

Patients should undergo thorough pre-treatment assessment to avoid adverse reactions.
Inform your healthcare provider about any allergies, pre-existing conditions, or ongoing medications.
IGIV is contraindicated in individuals with known antibody deficiencies against IgA due to the risk of severe allergic reactions.
Continuous monitoring and appropriate hydration are recommended during administration to mitigate risks of side effects.
