MS Infusion Pump
Notes from Immunology
- something-Q breaks tissue down to improve absorption
- HYQVIA
- The Recombinant Human Hyaluronidase, temporarily opens the subQ space, allowing a larger amount of Ig to reach the subQ tissue and be absorbed into the bloodstream to help fight infection.
- It's the reason you can infuse your monthly dose of HYQVIA [Immune Globulin Infusion 10% (Human) with Recombinant Human Hyaluronidase] using 1 needle, 1 infusion site, 1 time a month. A second site can be used at the discretion of the physician and patient based on tolerability and total volume.
- not FDA approved for MS, off label
- IVIG is extremely expensive, not widely available, and not considered practical for long-term treatment of MS.
- IVIG (Intravenous Immunoglobulin) is a treatment sometimes used in Multiple Sclerosis (off label; meaning it is not FDA approved for use in like many other drugs used for treating MS) to basically change the way the immune system functions.
- The goal of IVIG is to slow the of MS, reduce long-term disability, and reduce the number of symptoms associated with the disease
- Though no large studies of the use of IVIG in Multiple Sclerosis have been conducted, there have been a number of smaller ones which present some interesting statistics. For example, one Austrian study (though small) compared the effects of IVIG versus a placebo in 148 patients over 2 years. This study showed a 59 percent reduction in the number of relapses in the treated group as well as a significant reduction in disability scores for patients taking IVIG. Those on the placebo presented with deteriorating disability scores. Likewise, a Danish study also showed that patients on IVIG showed fewer MRI lesions than patients on a placebo.
- Some studies have even showed that IVIG can benefit those with though there have not been any studies large enough to actually confirm these possible benefits. Regardless, the few documented results available definitely warrant more detailed testing.
- no official dosing information has been published regarding the use of IVIG for Multiple Sclerosis
- Autoimmune Diseases
- literally hundreds of studies and case reports documenting its effects in a wide range of autoimmune diseases
- Other autoimmune disorders for which IVIG is now often prescribed include autoimmune neuropathies, neuromuscular junction defects, inflammatory myopathies, mucocutaneous blistering disorders, a potentially life-threatening vasculitis and at least one central nervous system disorder
