Starting BIVIGAM
HOW IS IT ADMINISTERED?
Like other IVIG treatments, BIVIGAM is given by IV infusion by a medical professional. BIVIGAM can be infused in a doctor’s office, infusion center, or at home. It’s injected into an IV infusion bag and slowly introduced to your body. The infusion typically takes about 4 hours, depending on body size. It may be given more slowly the first time to reduce the risk of side effects.
WHAT IS THE DOSING SCHEDULE?
BIVIGAM is usually given every 3 to 4 weeks. Fewer doses mean more treatment-free days for you! Your healthcare provider may change your dosing schedule, depending on how your body reacts to the medicine.
