Immunoglobulin Therapy
Immune Support Treatment at Park Cities Allergy & Asthma
Immunoglobulin therapy (IVIG) is an important treatment option for people who have immunodeficiency diseases, leaving the immune system more vulnerable to infection. This therapy provides antibodies—proteins that help protect you from illness—so your immune system has the support it needs. Many patients who receive IVIG experience fewer infections, milder symptoms, and improved day-to-day wellness.
At Park Cities Allergy & Asthma, we provide immunoglobulin therapy with a strong focus on comfort, safety, and personalized care. Our team works closely with each patient to make sure treatment fits their needs and supports long-term health.
What is IVG?
Immunoglobulin therapy (IVIG) is a treatment that delivers healthy antibodies to your body. This therapy is used for immunodeficiency diseases, which leave the immune system more vulnerable to infection.
Some people do not make enough antibodies on their own, or their immune system does not work as it should. IVIG therapy helps reduce the frequency and severity of infections and strengthens the body’s defenses.
Treatment is typically arranged as home-based therapy through a trusted third-party provider, making the process more convenient and comfortable for patients.
What Conditions Does Immunoglobulin Therapy Treat?
Immunoglobulin therapy is commonly used to support patients with immune deficiencies and related conditions. Your provider may recommend this treatment if you have an immune disorder that causes frequent or severe infections. Examples include:
- Primary immunodeficiency disorders
- Conditions that cause low antibody levels
- Immune system disorders that lead to repeated infections
- Certain immune-related complications where antibody support is needed
If you are unsure whether IVIG is appropriate for you, our team can help evaluate your symptoms, history, and test results.
How Does Immunoglobulin Therapy (IVIG) Work?
Immunoglobulin therapy (IVIG) works by providing the antibodies your body may be missing, helping support a more effective immune response in patients with immunodeficiency diseases.
Rather than curing the condition, IVIG helps reduce the frequency and severity of infections and lowers the risk of complications over time. This therapy is not one-size-fits-all—treatment is highly individualized based on your specific diagnosis, medical history, and response to prior care.
Your provider will carefully tailor your IVIG treatment plan to ensure the right approach for your long-term health and symptom control.
