Re: Ref: question on Sub-Q

[Guest guest]

Sally,

Since your doc does not do SQ on a regular basis, I would ask the specialty

pharmacy how to calculate the dose. I'm thinking that if he is currently 50g,

he'd need at least that number divided by 4 per week (~ 12.5g/week). Some docs

add 25% more and then do the division...it really depends on the doc. This is a

lot of volume to infuse SQ but it is possible.

Let me know what happens.

Ref: question on Sub-Q

,

He gets 50 grams of IVIG every 4 weeks.So if he got Sub Q. would that

mean he would get the same doseage as IVIG?

We have Cigna insurance. And so far Im not happy with them! I hope

that they would pay for sub-q.

Thanks for the info. I will contact Nufactor and get more info from

them. An in service with the doctor is a great idea. That way the

doctor can get educated about this.

Thanks
