IVIG & Monoclonal Antibody Therapy

IVIG and monoclonal antibody therapies are often used to help regulate immune function, reduce inflammation, or support immune deficiency conditions. These therapies are delivered intravenously under close clinical monitoring and are commonly part of long-term or recurring treatment plans. Our experienced infusion team ensures careful administration, patient monitoring, and clear communication throughout each visit.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is IVIG?

IVIG (intravenous immunoglobulin) is a treatment made from pooled human antibodies. It is given through an intravenous (IV) infusion to help support or regulate the immune system in patients with certain immune, autoimmune, or hematologic conditions.

Why has IVIG been prescribed for me?

IVIG may be prescribed to:

  • Replace missing antibodies in patients with immune deficiency
  • Help regulate an overactive immune response
  • Reduce inflammation associated with certain autoimmune or hematologic conditions

Your provider will determine whether IVIG is appropriate based on your diagnosis and medical history.

How is IVIG administered?

IVIG is delivered through an IV line over several hours, depending on the medication, dose, and your provider’s orders. Infusions are administered by experienced clinical professionals, and patients are monitored throughout the treatment.

How often will I receive IVIG?

Treatment schedules vary. Some patients receive IVIG every few weeks, while others may require infusions on a different schedule. Your provider will determine the frequency and duration of treatment.

What should I expect during my infusion?

At Suite Life, IVIG infusions are provided in a comfortable outpatient setting. You can expect:

  • A private or semi-private treatment room
  • Comfortable recliner seating
  • Wi-Fi and entertainment options
  • Light refreshments

Our clinical team will monitor you during the infusion and is available to address any questions or concerns.

Are there side effects?

Some patients may experience mild side effects such as headache, fatigue, chills, or nausea during or after treatment. More serious reactions are uncommon but possible. Our clinical team closely monitors patients throughout each infusion to ensure safety and comfort.

Will my insurance cover IVIG?

Coverage varies by insurance plan and diagnosis. Our team assists with insurance verification, prior authorizations when required, and coordination with your provider to help ensure coverage before treatment begins.

How long does an IVIG infusion take?

Infusion times vary depending on the medication and dosing, but most IVIG infusions take several hours. Your care team will review expected timing with you prior to your visit.

Can I bring someone with me?

Yes. Family members or support persons are welcome to accompany you during your infusion, as space and clinical considerations allow.

How do I get started?

IVIG treatment requires a prescription from your provider. Once Suite Life receives your order, our team will contact you to coordinate scheduling, insurance steps, and next steps in your care.
