IVIG dose levels


Recommended Posts

That surely seems to be the case. I have read (maybe here) that it is believed that lower doses can actually cause an inflammatory response. We are doing the highest dose I have seen (2G/kg x 4 total treatments) with Dr L. We have completed the 1st dose. Didn't do 2 days in a row. Just 1 infusion over 8 hours for the first dose. My dd handled it pretty well. Did have headache and vomit x 2 about 12 hours post infusion. Then headache controlled with motrin next 2 days. I hydrated her very well before and after treatment.

That answers my question from other post pricilla- thanks. We used dr k. He claims 1.5 better dose, and that that dose works better than 2, but does not know why. I asked him about that specifically.

This is the first time I've heard that some doctors are reccomemding multiple high doses right off the bat.

I wonder if this is because of something unusual about your childs immune work up?
