Intravenous immune globulin (IVIG) is a blood product manufactured from large pools of human plasma. IVIG was first introduced to treat immune deficiencies, however today the number of indications for use continues to expand. While IVIG is generally prescribed by a specialist, patients are often maintained and followed-up by a family physician.
This module will focus on the processes for ordering IVIG and monitoring for adverse events.
