"First dose, I had a hemolytic reaction with severe back pain, headache, hypertension. BP was 200/120. Changed to Octogam for the next infusion and slowed the rate down to a max of 50 cc/hr. Have tolerated well. Have had a lot less infections since starting IVIG."

"Privigen has been the only IVIG drug I can infuse at the recommended rates. Instead of an eight-hour 40 gram day, I'm down to 4.5 hours and 35 grams. Privigen has less fillers and preservatives which has made it a better infusion for me. Only one headache in two years and I was dehydrated as evidenced by my bloodwork results. And I knew I had not had enough water the day before."
