What is GAMMAGARD LIQUID?

Before we get started let’s go through some important safety information. Gammagard Liquid (Immune Globulin Infusion [Human]) 10% is a ready-to-use liquid medicine that is given in a vein (intravenously) or under the skin (subcutaneously) to treat primary immunodeficiency (PI) in people 2 years and older and given in a vein to treat multifocal motor neuropathy (MMN) in adults. Gammagard Liquid can cause blood clots, decreased kidney function and kidney failure. Please see Important Safety Information in this video, and the accompanying Information for Patients, and discuss with your Healthcare Provider.

Want to see one of the world’s most precious assets?

No, it’s not a diamond, it’s not gold.

This is human plasma and it’s used to create immunoglobulin therapies, like Gammagard Liquid.

Pretty cool, huh?

But do you know how these therapies are made? Let me show you.

Precious things need to be handled with care. And this is no exception.

It’s not a process that can be rushed. No, No.

It’s a journey of dedication and care.

The process takes up to a year and follows rigorous quality and safety measures.

It begins with donor selection.

Potential donors are strictly screened before their plasma is collected and their donation is tested for viruses and infections.

Then, experts carefully remove the IgG antibodies that are needed to create the final product.

After this, they purify the IgG antibodies in several stages.

And, while donor screening and donation testing minimise the chances of viruses, three specialised steps clear any viruses that may still be there.

Immunoglobulin therapies are all produced in a similar way but their features are different.

Gammagard Liquid is designed with patient needs in mind.

Its specific characteristics make it suitable for a broad range of patients. For example, it doesn’t contain any added sugar or sodium, which may be important things to consider for patients who are watching their salt and sugar intake.

Looking good!

After a final inspection, Gammagard Liquid is shipped to the people it’s prescribed to.
