How is IG administered? 

IG therapy can be administered through two main routes—intravenously (IV) or subcutaneously (SC).

Intravenous (IV) administration involves infusing the IG solution over several hours. Subcutaneous (SC) administration, on the other hand, entails injecting the solution directly under the skin’s surface.

The dosage of IG is determined based on your weight and may be administered in a single day or spread out over multiple days, depending on your physician’s instructions.

For IVIG administration, you have the option of receiving treatment in the comfort of your home or at one of our infusion suites. A registered nurse will oversee the process, monitoring you closely throughout the infusion.

SCIG injections offer greater flexibility as they can be self-administered by the patient, eliminating the need for an in-home nurse. This allows for increased independence and reduced “down-time.” The duration of therapy may vary, ranging from a single treatment to several months.
