I’ve had IVIG monthly for the past 8 months. No side effects and my IgG has gone from around 300 to over 600. We are now going to a bi-monthly schedule. I am in maintenance as my MM is in remission. Originally diagnosed Jan 29, 2024. Best of luck to you.

- Administration: IVIG is given via intravenous infusion in a medical setting, typically once a month while antibody levels are low.
- Purpose: The goal is to protect individuals with weakened immune systems from infections.
- Effectiveness: A study found no significant difference in infection rates between those who received IVIG and those who did not.
- Side Effects: Possible side effects include headache, fatigue, fever, chills, muscle or joint aches, nausea, vomiting, kidney problems, blood clots, and rashes.

Always discuss potential benefits and risks with your oncologist.
