Why GAMMAGARD LIQUID?
GAMMAGARD LIQUID is the first and only FDA-approved intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) for adults with Multifocal Motor Neuropathy (MMN). In fact, GAMMAGARD LIQUID was studied in the largest clinical trial in MMN to date.
What does it mean when the FDA approves a treatment? It means that treatment has been reviewed to determine if it's safe and effective for patients to use. The FDA reviews the clinical trial results and may grant approval if they determine the clinical benefits outweigh the potential risks.
Reestablish your routine
GAMMAGARD LIQUID was studied in 44 adult patients over the course of 60 weeks. Patients rotated between taking placebo (no medicine) and GAMMAGARD LIQUID. In the study, patients taking GAMMAGARD LIQUID showed:
Improved grip strength
Reduced disability
GAMMAGARD LIQUID was also shown to maintain dexterity in the hands.
Watch a real MMN patient’s experience with GAMMAGARD LIQUID
My doctor said GAMMAGARD LIQUID could help increase my strength and dexterity, which would help me with everyday activities.
Individual experiences may vary.
When I first started taking GAMMAGARD LIQUID, I had to work with my doctor to find the right dosage and frequency for me. Because of MMN, the muscles that I use to make a thumbs up became completely paralyzed. After I started treatment on GAMMAGARD LIQUID, my thumb muscles began to work again. They suddenly came back, which was amazing.
That’s how I know that this treatment is working for me. Since I started treatment, I’ve been able to maintain dexterity and strength so I can stay independent. This helps me get dressed every day and do things without assistance that if I wasn’t on GAMMAGARD LIQUID, I would probably need assistance to do. I’ve experienced some side effects, such as headache, muscle aches, and general flu-like symptoms.
To manage the side effects, I work with the infusion nurses. They can adjust your infusion rate. And I also make sure to stay hydrated during and before infusions. Remember it’s important to talk with your doctor about any side effects you might experience during treatment.
GAMMAGARD LIQUID was shown to help with tasks of daily living, including:
Tying your shoes
Personal grooming
Holding a cup and
gripping utensils
Working a zipper
or buttons
Texting and
typing

Your experience with MMN is personal, so this discussion guide is all about you. We’ll ask questions to help you have a discussion with your doctor about where you are now—so you can start working toward where you want to be.
