IVIG (Intravenous Immunoglobulin)

IVIG is a therapy used to treat antibody deficiencies related to a variety of inflammatory and immune-mediated diseases. IVIG is made from antibodies called immunoglobulins, which your immune system typically makes to help fight off infection. The immunoglobulins in IVIG infusions are derived from thousands of healthy blood plasma donations.
