Drug Details
Hizentra is a medication designed to enhance the body’s immune response in individuals with weakened immune systems, such as those with primary immune deficiency. It is an immunoglobulin, specifically IgG, which is a type of antibody derived from healthy human plasma. This antibody helps protect against infections by strengthening the immune system's ability to combat viruses and bacteria. Hizentra is administered through an injection under the skin using an infusion pump and can be self-administered at home. In addition to supporting immune function, Hizentra is also used to treat a nerve disorder known as chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP).
