WHAT FLEBOGAMMA DIF IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
WHAT FLEBOGAMMA DIF IS
Flebogamma DIF contains human normal immunoglobulin, highly purified
protein extracted from
human plasma (part of the blood of donors). This medicine belongs to
the group of medicines called
intravenous immunoglobulins. These are used to treat conditions where
the body’s defence system
against disease is not working properly.
WHAT FLEBOGAMMA DIF IS USED FOR
Treatment of adults, children and adolescents (2 - 18 years) who do
not have sufficient antibodies
(Flebogamma DIF is used as replacement therapy). There are two groups:
•
Patients with Primary Immunodeficiency Syndromes (PID), an inborn lack
of antibodies
(group 1)
•
Patients with Secondary Immunodeficiency Syndromes (SID) with severe
or recurrent
infections, ineffective antimicrobial treatment and either PROVEN
SPECIFIC ANTIBODY FAILURE
(PSAF)* or serum IgG level of <4 g/l (group 2)
*PSAF= failure to mount at least a 2-fold rise in IgG antibody titre
to pneumococcal polysaccharide
and polypeptide antigen vaccines.
