Dosing
Primary immune deficiency disorder, Common Variable Immunodeficiency, X-linked agammaglobulinemia, Congenital agammaglobulinemia, Wiskott-Aldrich Syndrome, Severe Combined Immunodeficiency Individualized SC dose based on pharmacokinetic and clinical response; for patients switching from IGIV, calculate initial weekly dose by dividing monthly IGIV dose by weeks between infusions and multiplying by adjustment factor of 1.30; for patients switching from IGSC, maintain same weekly dose; dosing interval from daily up to every other week.
Primary immune deficiency disorder, Wiskott-Aldrich Syndrome, Common Variable Immunodeficiency, X-linked agammaglobulinemia, Severe Combined Immunodeficiency Individualized SC dose administered daily to every 2 weeks; when switching from IGIV, initial weekly dose = prior IGIV dose (g) divided by weeks between doses, multiplied by 1.37.
Polyradiculoneuropathy, Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating 0.2 g/kg (1 mL/kg) SC per week in 1-2 infusion sessions over 1-2 consecutive days; may increase to 0.4 g/kg per week if symptoms worsen on the lower dose.

Pharmacology
Immune globulin replacement; CUTAQUIG supplies a broad spectrum of opsonizing and neutralizing IgG antibodies against bacterial and viral agents, with IgG subclass distribution closely proportional to native human plasma, restoring abnormally low IgG levels to the normal range to help prevent infections in primary humoral immunodeficiency.
Immune Globulin Subcutaneous (Human), 20% Liquid that supplies a broad spectrum of opsonizing and neutralizing IgG antibodies against a wide variety of bacterial and viral agents; mechanism of action has not been fully elucidated but may include immunomodulatory effects.
