PANZYGA Uses, Side Effects, Interactions, Warnings & Dosing
What is PANZYGA?
PANZYGA is the brand name for immune globulin and is available as an IV infusion.
What dosages is PANZYGA available in?
PANZYGA is available as a solution containing 10% IgG (100 mg/mL) for an IV infusion.
What is PANZYGA used for?
PANZYGA is an Immune globulin and is used for the following:
Conditions where your immune system is missing or not working as it should:
- Trouble fighting infections (primary humoral immunodeficiency or PI)
- Low platelets (chronic (long-term) immune thrombocytopenia or ITP)
- Nerve damage (chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy or CIDP)
How does PANZYGA work?
PANZYGA is a replacement for immunoglobulin G (IgG). IgG is an antibody that your immune system makes to help protect against organisms like viruses, bacteria, and fungi. Certain medical conditions can cause your immune system to be too active or too inactive. The exact way PANZYGA works to treat these medical conditions isn’t fully known. It’s thought to boost your immune system to help prevent infections. It also might help prevent an overly active immune system from attacking parts of your own body by mistake.
How do I take PANZYGA?
Your dose of PANZYGA depends on things like your body weight, lab results, and what you’re using Panzyga for. In general:
Trouble fighting infections (PI)
- Adults and children age 2 years and older: The typical dose is 300 mg/kg to 600 mg/kg infused into the veins (IV) once every 3 to 4 weeks
Low platelets (ITP)
- Adults: The typical dose is 1 gram/kg infused IV once daily for 2 days.
Nerve damage (CIDP)
- Adults: Typically, you’ll start with a loading dose of 1 gram/kg infused IV once daily for 2 days. Then, you’ll continue with a maintenance dose of 1 gram/kg to 2 gram/kg split into 2 doses (1 dose given daily for 2 days in a row), once every 3 weeks.
