What Is Gamunex?

Gamunex-C is a type of sterile antibody solution that is extracted from human beings. Injections of this solution are given to patients suffering from a weak immune system or immune disorder. Gamunex-C injections help such patients combat infections.

Gamunex-C is a combination of immune globulins (antibodies) that is used as a treatment for patients suffering from immunodeficiencies. There are a number of conditions where patients lack an optimally working immune system that produces antibodies to keep them safe from microorganism attacks.

In such cases, Gamunex-C acts as an external source of antibodies that can boost the immune performance of the body.

Gamunex Infusion/ Administration

Injection of immune globulin 10% caprylate can be given into a vein or under the skin. This means Gamunex-C can be given as an IVIG infusion or a subcutaneous infusion.

IV Infusion

For intravenous infusion, Gamunex is given just like other IVIG therapies. The IV route is used for the treatment of primary immunodeficiencies (PI), immune thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP), and chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (ሲአይዲፒ).

ማስታወሻ፡- You should not inject Gamunex-C intravenously if your doctor has instructed you to use subcutaneous infusion.

Subcutaneous Infusion

A Gamunex-C infusion pump is used to inject the solution subcutaneously. Patients must fill the pump reservoir and prepare the infusion pump. Subcutaneous infusion can be given at different sites of the body at the same time.
