Intravenous immunoglobulin
Intravenous Immunoglobulin (IVIG) is a treatment that involves giving patients antibodies through a vein. Antibodies are proteins made by the immune system to help fight infections and diseases. IVIG is often used for patients with weakened immune systems, autoimmune diseases, or certain neurological conditions. It can help boost immunity, reduce inflammation, and improve overall health. The treatment is typically administered in a hospital or clinic and can take several hours. While IVIG is generally safe, it may cause side effects like headaches or allergic reactions, which are usually manageable with medical supervision.
