How should i expect to feel after an ivig treatment. i'm a 76 year old male living with cll thanks?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
IVIG treatment: There are 2 ways to receive igg- IV or subcutaneous. Iv preparations, sometimes cause infusion reactions - headache, chills, rashes. Either the rate of infusion, certain premedications or changing the product can minimize these reactions. Once you receive a few doses, you should have more protection against common infections, which should help you feel better, due to less infections.
