The following is an overview of the IgCares™ app, designed to support patients with primary immunodeficiency (PI) and their caregivers.
Thrombosis Risk with Immune Globulin Products
Thrombosis may occur with immune globulin products, including CUTAQUIG (Immune Globulin Subcutaneous [Human]-HIPP, 16.5% solution). Risk factors include:
- Advanced age
- Prolonged immobilization
- Hypercoagulable conditions
- History of venous or arterial thrombosis
- Use of estrogens
- Indwelling vascular catheters
- Hyperviscosity
- Cardiovascular risk factors
For patients at risk of thrombosis, it is advisable to administer CUTAQUIG at the minimum dose and infusion rate practicable. Ensure adequate hydration prior to administration and monitor for signs and symptoms of thrombosis. Assess blood viscosity in patients at risk of hyperviscosity.
