Pharmacology
Flebogamma 5% DIF is an intravenous immune globulin (IGIV) that provides replacement therapy for primary immunodeficiency by supplying a broad spectrum of opsonizing and neutralizing IgG antibodies against a wide variety of bacterial and viral agents.
Immune globulin (IgG) replacement product in which the Immune Globulin Infusion (Human), 10% supplies broad-spectrum opsonizing and neutralizing IgG antibodies against bacterial and viral agents, while rHuPH20 transiently depolymerizes subcutaneous hyaluronan to increase tissue permeability, facilitating dispersion and absorption of the full IgG dose administered subcutaneously.
