Intravenous Immunoglobulin (IVIG)

Intravenous Immunoglobulin (IVIG) is a medical treatment that involves infusing antibodies directly into a patient's bloodstream. These antibodies are proteins gathered from the plasma of thousands of donors and help strengthen the immune system. IVIG is used to treat various conditions, including autoimmune diseases, immune deficiencies, and certain infections. By boosting the immune response, IVIG can help the body fight off diseases, reduce inflammation, and improve overall health. The infusion is typically administered in a healthcare setting, allowing for monitoring and management of any potential side effects.
