Even though all immunoglobulin intravenous (IGIV) end products have high IgG concentrations, variations in manufacturing processes lead to unique product characteristics.
Solvent/detergent-treated IGIV (IGIV-S/D) liquid 10% (Gammagard or Kiovig liquid) is one of the newer products, and this article will discuss and compare its efficacy, safety, tolerability and effect on patient care.
The search terms 'immunoglobulin,' 'IGIV,' 'IVIG,' and 'liquid' were entered into PubMed/Medline and Google for the literature search in preparation of this manuscript. Additional references were screened from researched literature.
RESULTS/CONCLUSION: Gammagard liquid 10% has shown significant activity in primary immunodeficiency and immune thrombocytopenic purpura. It is a sugar- and sodium-free product with improved safety, tolerability and convenience. Overall, Gammagard liquid is a valuable addition to available therapies that has utility in life-threatening and complicated diseases, and its use will continue to grow.
尽管所有静脉注射免疫球蛋白(IGIV)终产品都有高浓度的IgG,但生产工艺的差异导致了产品的独特特性。
溶剂/去污剂处理的10%液体IGIV(IGIV-S/D,即Gammagard或Kiovig液体)是较新的产品之一,本文将讨论并比较其疗效、安全性、耐受性以及对患者护理的影响。
