What is GAMMAGARD LIQUID?
About GAMMAGARD LIQUID
GAMMAGARD LIQUID is a ready-to-use liquid medicine that contains immunoglobulin G, or IgG, antibodies, which protect the body against infection. These antibodies, collected from the plasma of healthy people, replace the missing antibodies in patients with Primary Immunodeficiency (PI). GAMMAGARD LIQUID is used to treat PI in people 2 years and older.
GAMMAGARD LIQUID temporarily increases the amount of antibodies in your body to fight germs that can make you sick.
GAMMAGARD LIQUID offers a choice of intravenous (IV) and subcutaneous (SubQ) administration options and can be infused either directly into a vein (IV) or just under the skin into the fatty tissue (SubQ). Talk with your doctor about the treatment administration option that may be best for you.

GAMMAGARD LIQUID is made from plasma donations
GAMMAGARD LIQUID is supported by a strong legacy of more than 60 years of experience in IgG therapies. IgG is derived from plasma, which is part of human blood. Every donation is carefully tested and each step of the process used to make GAMMAGARD LIQUID ensures that your therapy is reliable and meets high safety standards.
Three steps to meet high safety standards
The plasma that’s used to make GAMMAGARD LIQUID goes through a rigorous process to get rid of viruses that could have potentially been included during the collection.
STEP 1. Virus reduction
The plasma is treated with a solution that inactivates viruses within minutes
STEP 2. Virus removal
The plasma goes through a filter to remove small germs by size
STEP 3. Virus inactivation
The plasma is kept in special conditions to further inactivate viruses
