Pharmacology
CUVITRU is a human IgG replacement product that supplies a broad spectrum of opsonizing and neutralizing IgG antibodies against bacterial and viral agents, restoring abnormally low IgG levels to the normal range in patients with primary humoral immunodeficiency.
XEMBIFY supplies a broad spectrum of opsonizing and neutralizing IgG antibodies against bacterial, viral, parasitic, and mycoplasmal agents and their toxins, and contains antibodies capable of interacting with and altering the activity of immune system cells, though the full mechanism is not completely understood.
