User Reviews for Hizentra

Hizentra (immune globulin subcutaneous) for Primary Immunodeficiency Syndrome: Immune system is where it should be for the first time in 5 yrs! Actually had to reduce Hizentra by 20% after 6 month blood check!

Hizentra (immune globulin subcutaneous) for Primary Immunodeficiency Syndrome: Once you find a good site it is relatively painless. Almost no severe reactions yet. I can't handle IVIG very well so this is it for me.

Hizentra (immune globulin subcutaneous) for Primary Immunodeficiency Syndrome: I started on Hizentra 3 months ago and I am quite pleased with the differance it has made. I was always feeling run down and so so tired all the time and I would have one Sinus infection after an other. I was so sick of taking antibiotics. They say at about four months I will be close to my plateau, I don't know about that as I was quite run down. Each week has had its ups and downs, You know i step forward and 2 back, lately however I have been noticing a more level and steady state. I don't care to much for inserting the 4 needles every week and the injection site pain but it is only there for a couple of days then I have 5 days to enjoy life. Good luck to you! Mike

Hizentra (immune globulin subcutaneous) for Primary Immunodeficiency Syndrome: Medicare required patients to switch from viva to globulin. The switch for me resulted in instant disability, numerous infections. It became evident that the same dosage of viva was not equivalent to Hizentra. Hizentra had to be increased by a factor of 1.59 of viva. The weekly grams infused out weigh any advantage of the 20% solution.
