IVIG therapy

IVIG therapy involves infusing a patient with pooled antibodies collected from many healthy donor blood donors. These antibodies help strengthen the immune system, especially in individuals with immune deficiencies or autoimmune conditions. The treatment can reduce infections, modulate immune responses, and provide passive immunity. It is typically administered through a vein over several hours in a medical setting. IVIG is generally well-tolerated, though some people may experience side effects like headache or fatigue. Overall, it’s a valuable therapy that supports immune function by supplying essential antibodies directly to the bloodstream.
