Intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) therapy

Intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) therapy involves administering antibodies through an intravenous (IV) line. These antibodies are derived from the blood of many healthy donors and help boost the immune system. IVIG is used to treat various conditions, such as autoimmune disorders, immune deficiencies, and certain infections. By providing these antibodies, IVIG can help the body fight off diseases, reduce inflammation, and support overall immune function. The therapy is typically given in a healthcare setting and can vary in duration and dosage based on individual needs and conditions.
