IVIG Therapy: Boost Immunity & Treat Autoimmune

IVIG (Intravenous Immunoglobulin): Enhancing Immunity and Treating Autoimmune Disorders

IVIG, or Intravenous Immunoglobulin, is a medical treatment in which antibodies derived from healthy donor blood are administered directly into a patient’s vein. These antibodies help the body fight against various diseases.

Why IVIG Is Given

• Immune Deficiency: For patients whose bodies do not produce sufficient antibodies.

• Autoimmune Disorders: Helps reduce attacks where the body mistakenly attacks its own cells.

• Other Conditions: Used in some neurological disorders, kidney diseases, and blood disorders.

How IVIG Works
Antibodies are natural cells that combat infections and diseases. IVIG increases antibody levels in the body, enhancing its ability to fight infections and manage autoimmune reactions.

Administration of IVIG
IVIG is typically given through an intravenous injection (IV drip). The process may take several hours.

Possible Side Effects of IVIG
Although IVIG is generally safe, some patients may experience:

• Fever

• Headache

• Body aches

• Itching

• Nausea

Benefits of IVIG

• Effective in treating various conditions

• Boosts immune system function

• Helps reduce symptoms in many cases

Important Note
IVIG is a medical procedure. Always consult a specialist physician before receiving IVIG for any condition.

Summary
IVIG is a vital therapy to enhance immunity. Patients with immune deficiencies or autoimmune diseases may benefit from IVIG under the guidance of a qualified physician.
