Re: Sub Q questionKathleen

I have to agree with Barbie, thats a pretty large dose for a 6 year

old. The only thing I can think of is maybe your child in on the heavy

side as dosing depends on weight. My 45lb almost 8 yr old daughter was

doing 2.5g sub-q every week until she grew a bit and lost all her sub-

q tissue so were back on IVIG, trying 5g every 2 weeks but if she can't

tolerate it we will go to 2.5g IVIG and install a port (placing an IV

is a nightmare with her) until we get some weight on her which is

pretty hard to do.

dose as far as illness so I am not pushing to go up. We starte at 15gms

at age 4 so it seems like you are on a high dose.
