Starting GAMMAGARD LIQUID
Subcutaneous (SubQ)

What should I know about SubQ treatment?

• GAMMAGARD LIQUID SubQ infusions are delivered under your skin through 1 or more (maximum of 8 simultaneous sites) needles inserted in the upper arms, abdomen, thighs, or lower back. The number of sites depends on your dose
• Immune globulin (IG) treatment is absorbed into your bloodstream through the tissues beneath your skin
• SubQ administration may be administered by yourself or by a caregiver at home, at a frequency of once a week. Before you start infusing at home, a nurse will train you or your caregiver to make sure you know what you're doing and feel comfortable doing it
• In the clinical study of SubQ administration of GAMMAGARD LIQUID SubQ, weekly infusion times ranged from 0.8 to 2.3 hours (the median time was 1.2 hours)
• GAMMAGARD LIQUID SubQ is used to treat primary immunodeficiency (PI) in people 2 years and older. Your doctor will determine the right dose based on your body weight and IG levels

What kind of training will I get for SubQ administration?
