WHAT HYQVIA IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
WHAT HYQVIA IS
HyQvia contains 2 solutions for infusion (drip) under the skin
(subcutaneous or SC infusion).
It is supplied as a package containing:
•
one vial of human normal immunoglobulin 10% (the active substance)
•
one vial of recombinant human hyaluronidase (a substance which helps
the human normal
immunoglobulin 10% reach your blood).
Human normal immunoglobulin 10% belong to a class of medicines called
“human normal
immunoglobulins”. Immunoglobulins are also known as antibodies and
are found in healthy people’s
blood. Antibodies are part of the immune system (the body’s natural
defences) and help your body to
fight infections.
HOW HYQVIA WORKS
The recombinant human hyaluronidase is a protein that makes it easier
for the immunoglobulins to be
infused (dripped) under the skin and to reach your blood system.
The vial of immunoglobulins has been prepared from the blood of
healthy people. Immunoglobulins
are produced by the human body’s immune system. They help your body
to fight infections caused by
bacteria and viruses or maintain
