The length of the infusion depends on a few factors. IVIG generally takes about 3 hours for the infusion to be completed. This estimate only includes the time that it takes for the medication to go into your body; it will take additional time to prepare supplies and medications and to place the IV catheter.
IVIG is an expensive therapy and ultimately, insurers and hospitals question the use of this drug for desensitization. Is it cost-effective? Data do exist in this regard Currently, a four dose course of IVIG for a 70 kg person at 2 g/kg would cost $25 000-$26 000.However, one must compare this to the cost of maintaining patients on dialysis, which is the only other option.In the IGO2 study, the calculated cost savings was ~$300 000/patient transplanted versus those who remained on dialysis for the 5 years of the study.here were more than 300 infusions in each arm of the study using Gamimune N 10% versus placebo. Adverse events were similar in both arms of the study (24 IVIG vs. 23 placebo). The most common adverse event in the IVIG arm was headache (52% vs. 24%, p = 0.056).
