AI Article Synopsis

  • Immunoglobulin preparations are blood-derived medications used to treat immunodeficiencies and modulate immune responses.
  • They are mostly well-tolerated, but can have side effects, especially when given intravenously, often due to excessive perfusion rates.
  • Newer, safer subcutaneous options have recently emerged, improving treatment for patients.

Article Abstract

Immunoglobulin preparations are medicines derived from blood used as a replacement therapy for immunodeficiencies or as an immunomodulator. While they are generally well-tolerated, side effects, rarely severe, can nevertheless occur when administered intravenously. They are usually related to an excessive perfusion rate. The recent arrival of safer products administered subcutaneously represents progress in the treatment of patients.
