WHAT KIOVIG IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
KIOVIG belongs to a class of medications called immunoglobulins. These
medicines contain human
antibodies, which are also present in your blood. Antibodies help your
body to fight infections.
Medicines like KIOVIG are used in patients who do not have enough
antibodies in their blood and
tend to get frequent infections. They can also be used in patients who
need additional antibodies for
the cure of certain inflammatory disorders (autoimmune diseases).
KIOVIG IS USED FOR
TREATMENT OF PATIENTS WHO DO NOT HAVE SUFFICIENT ANTIBODIES
(REPLACEMENT THERAPY). THERE ARE
TWO GROUPS:
1.
Patients with inborn lack of antibody production (primary
immunodeficiency syndromes).
2.
Patients with secondary immunodeficiencies (SID) who suffer from
severe or recurrent
infections, ineffective antimicrobial treatment and either PROVEN
SPECIFIC ANTIBODY FAILURE
(PSAF)* or serum IgG level of <4 g/l.
*PSAF = failure to mount at least a 2-fold rise in IgG antibody titre
to pneumococcal polysaccharide
and polypeptide antigen vaccines
