However, with ongoing scientific progress, <a href=\"https:\/\/ameripharmaspecialty.com\/ivig\/what-is-scig\/\">subcutaneous immunoglobulin (SCIG)<\/a> has emerged as an alternative. In this article, we will explore the key details you need to know if you&#8217;re considering switching from IVIG to SCIG as a treatment option for your immunodeficiency disorder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div  id=\"call-to-action-a5a0aba9012217a0c3bab0efcb0a4f8b\" style=\"\" class=\"ct_call_to_action\">\n\t<div class=\"container\">\n\t\t<div class=\"block-wrap cta\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"block-column\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"cta_headings\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h4 class=\"cta__heading\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tHome Infusion \u2013 We Come To You\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/h4>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"cta_btn\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"tel:8777780318\"> (877) 778-0318<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What Is IVIG and SCIG?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Primary immunodeficiency disease (PIDD) refers to a group of more than 300 disorders that occur when the body&#8217;s ability to produce antibodies is impaired for an unknown reason. Antibodies are crucial proteins that help defend the body against harmful invaders like viruses and bacteria. As a result, individuals with PIDD are more susceptible to infections and other illnesses [<a href=\"https:\/\/www.aaaai.org\/tools-for-the-public\/allergy,-asthma-immunology-glossary\/primary-immunodeficiency-diseases-(pidd)-defined\">1<\/a>]. For these individuals, immunoglobulin (IG) replacement therapy is an effective treatment option to help support and maintain a healthy immune system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) is an immunoglobulin (IG) replacement therapy made from the blood plasma of thousands of donors. It contains many antibodies that help fight against viruses and bacteria. IVIG is administered intravenously through a vein. IVIG can help treat various health conditions like PIDD, <a href=\"https:\/\/ameripharmaspecialty.com\/cidp\/what-is-cidp\/\">chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP)<\/a>, and Kawasaki disease.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Subcutaneous Immunoglobulin (SCIG) contains the same immunoglobulin (IG) product, but the difference is that you receive SCIG under your skin rather than in a vein. This infusion method allows you to self-infuse at home, providing more flexibility than IVIG.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Benefits of Switching From IVIG to SCIG<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There are some benefits of SCIG over IVIG [<a href=\"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1017\/cjn.2021.56\">2<\/a>]:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Improved Quality of Life:<\/strong> Unlike IVIG, you can take SCIG on your own in your home. This significantly reduces visits to the clinic. The length of infusion also decreases with the infusion running about 1.5 hours, whereas a typical IVIG regimen may take up to 4 to 6 hours. Unlike IVIG, the frequent dosing schedule of SCIG helps your body maintain steady <a href=\"https:\/\/ameripharmaspecialty.com\/ivig\/immunoglobulins-ig\/\">immunoglobulin<\/a> levels. This reduces your risk of getting an infection and improves your overall health. The convenience of self-infusing over shorter periods of time and achieving consistent medication levels can greatly improve your quality of life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Lower Risk of Side Effects:<\/strong> SCIG is well tolerated and comes with a lower risk of side effects than IVIG.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Lower Healthcare Cost:<\/strong> SCIG use could lead to fewer hospital visits due to its tolerability and shorter nursing times, with patients learning how to self-infuse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Greater Patient Preference:<\/strong> People tend to prefer SCIG over IVIG. In a clinical study, 81% of patients preferred SCIG over IVIG [<a href=\"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/s10875-006-8905-x\">3<\/a>]. In another study, seven out of eight patients preferred SCIG over IVIG [<a href=\"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/1756285614563056\">4<\/a>].<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div  id=\"call-to-action-0ec1ccda66bcb23d3459f1bdb837156d\" style=\"\" class=\"ct_call_to_action\">\n\t<div class=\"container\">\n\t\t<div class=\"block-wrap cta\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"block-column\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"cta_headings\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h4 class=\"cta__heading\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tSpeak to a Specialist\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/h4>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"cta__sub__heading\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tAbout Copay Assistance\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"cta_btn\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"#form\">Schedule a Consultation<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Steps for Switching From IVIG to SCIG<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"420\" height=\"279\" src=\"https:\/\/ameripharmaspecialty.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/doctor-scig-patient.jpg\" alt=\"Doctor consulting with patient about switching from IVIG to SCIG\" class=\"wp-image-26833\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ameripharmaspecialty.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/doctor-scig-patient.jpg 420w, https:\/\/ameripharmaspecialty.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/doctor-scig-patient-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ameripharmaspecialty.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/doctor-scig-patient-330x220.jpg 330w, https:\/\/ameripharmaspecialty.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/doctor-scig-patient-86x57.jpg 86w, https:\/\/ameripharmaspecialty.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/doctor-scig-patient-167x111.jpg 167w, https:\/\/ameripharmaspecialty.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/doctor-scig-patient-280x186.jpg 280w, https:\/\/ameripharmaspecialty.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/doctor-scig-patient-370x246.jpg 370w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 420px) 100vw, 420px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>If you are considering switching from IVIG to SCIG, the recommended steps are discussed below [<a href=\"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1017\/cjn.2021.56\">2<\/a>][<a href=\"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/1756285614563056\">5<\/a>][<a href=\"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1017\/cjn.2021.56\">6<\/a>]:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Consult With Healthcare Provider:<\/strong> The first step in transitioning is to consult your doctor.
