Reply To: IVIG dosage

Have you ever had a large dose like that before? We get 35g every 2 weeks and it takes about 6 hours. Our infusion rate is the standard rate, not faster or slower. The only way I can see you getting the entire dose at one reasonable sitting would be to increase the rate. You may be OK with that, everyone reacts differently. You will just have to see what works best for you. I would try to see if you could start the infussion first thing in the morning in the event you cannot speed things up and require the full infussion time, it could be about a ten hour day. Are things working the way they are now? If so, why does he want to change? Keep us posted
