This sheet is a basic, general introduction to Intravenous Immunoglobulin G (commonly referred to as'IVIG, or 'IGIV'). This includes details on what to expect during an infusion, information on potential risks and adverse effects, having IVIG as home therapy and advantages/disadvantages compared to subcutaneous immunoglobulin (SCIG).
If you have not already read it then we recommend reading the 'Immunoglobulin G Replacement Therapy Quick Information Sheet' as this gives more general information on what immunoglobulin replacement therapy is for, what it does, risks and benefits, and the different methods of having it.
