| Description | Intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIg) is a mixture of IgG1 and other antibodies derived from healthy human plasma via Cohn fractionation. The purification process includes cold alcohol fractionation, polyethylene glycol precipitation, and ion exchange chromatography. IVIg contains the same distribution of IgG antibody subclasses as is found in the general human population. IgG subclasses are fully represented in the following proportions: 70.3% IgG1, 24.7% IgG2, 3.1% IgG3, and 1.9% IgG4. IVIg is used in the treatment of immunodeficiencies, as well as autoimmune and inflammatory disorders. |
| Indication/Disease | IVIg is used in the treatment of immunodeficiencies, as well as autoimmune and inflammatory disorders. These indications includes idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura, Kawasaki disease, hypogammaglobulinemia, B cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia, bone marrow transplant complications, Guillain-Barré syndrome, chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP), multiple sclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis, myesthenia gravis, Wiskott–Aldrich syndrome and inflammatory skin diseases. |
| Pharmacodynamics | Used as a replacement therapy in inherited humoral immunodeficiency disorders such as severe combined immunodeficiency syndrome, x-linked agammaglobulinemia, and Wiskott-Aldrich Syndrome. The immunoglobulins target, bind and kill bacterial cells as well as viral particles. IgG is the monomeric immunoglobulin of which there are four subclasses (IgG1, IgG2, IgG3 and IgG4) in differing abundances (66%, 23%, 7% and 4%). IgAs represent about 15% of the immunoglobulins in the blood. These target inhaled or ingested pathogens. |
| Mechanism of Action | IVIg interacts with a number of different components of the immune system, including cytokines, complement, Fc receptors and several cell surface immunocompetent molecules. IVIg also impacts different effector cells of the immune system (B and T lymphocytes, dendritic cells, etc.) and regulates a wide range of genes. Its main mechanism of actions are believed to be Fc-dependent and F(ab')2-dependent. IVIg competitively blocks gamma Fc receptors, preventing the binding and ingestion of phagocytes and suppressing platelet depletion. IVIg contains a number of different antobodies, which prevent infection by attaching to the surface of invading pathogens and aiding in their disposal before they can infect cells. Antibodies remove pathogens via complement activation, agglutination or precipitation, pathogen receptor blocking, macrophage “tagging” or neutralization (via binding) of pathogen toxins. Intact IVIg and F(ab')2 fragments of IVIg can also neutralize the activity of various autoantibodies. By triggering the production of interleukin-1 receptor antagonist, IVIg modulates of the production of cytokines and cytokine antagonists. It also prevents the generation of the C5b-9 membrane attack complex and subsequent complement-mediated tissue damage by binding active complement components. |

| Chemical Name | 100 mg/ml |
| Formulation | Privigen is contraindicated in patients who have a history of anaphylactic or severe systemic reaction to the administration of human immune globulin. Privigen is contraindicated in patients with hyperprolinemia because it contains the stabilizer L-proline [see DESCRIPTION]. Privigen is contraindicated in IgA-deficient patients with antibodies to IgA and a history of hypersensitivity [see WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS]. |
| Physical Appearance | headache, back or joint pain, nausea, vomiting, fatigue, chills, fever, low levels of iron in the blood (anemia), dizziness, tired feeling, muscle cramps, minor chest pain, or flushing (warmth, redness, or tingly feeling) |
| Route of Administration | Privigen ) is a sterile solution made from human plasma. It contains antibodies to help your body protect itself against infection from various diseases. Privigen is used as a replacement therapy for primary humoral immunodeficiency (PI). This includes, but is not limited to congenital agammaglobulinemia,... |
| Recommended Dosage | Privigen I[mmune Globulin Intravenous (Human)] is a prescription medicine used to treat the symptoms of Primary Immunodeficiency Syndrome, Immune Thrombocytopenic Purpura, Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyneuropathy (CIDP) and before and after a Bone Marrow Transplant. Privigen may be used alone or with other medications. |
| Contraindication | NA |
| Side Effects | Privigen is a ready-to-use, sterile, 10% protein liquid preparation of polyvalent human immunoglobulin G (IgG) for intravenous administration. Privigen has a purity of at least 98% IgG, consisting primarily of monomers. The balance consists of IgG dimers ( ≤ 12%), small amounts of fragments and polymers, and albumin. Privigen contains ≤ 25 mcg/mL IgA. The IgG subclass distribution (approximate mean values) is IgG1, 67.8%; IgG2, 28.7%; IgG3, 2.3%; and IgG4, 1.2%. Privigen has an osmolality of approximately 320 mOsmol/kg (range: 240 to 440) and a pH of 4.8 (range: 4.6 to 5.0). |
