Nanogam 100 mg/ml / Optiglobin 100 mg/ml
Nanogam is an intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIg) containing a broad range of naturally occurring IgG antibodies derived from human plasma.
Nanogam is used in patients with primary (hereditary) and secondary (acquired) immunodeficiency disorders. Treatment helps reduce the frequency and severity of infections by providing antibodies that these patients may lack.
Nanogam is also used in several immune-mediated disorders, including primary immune thrombocytopenia (ITP), Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS), Kawasaki disease, multifocal motor neuropathy (MMN), and chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP).
