Does IgG have side effects?
Common side effects of IgG therapy may seem like the flu. The individual may have a headache, chills, fever, flushing, nausea and pain or aching. Fortunately, there are many simple things that can be done to reduce the risk of side effects. These include drinking plenty of fluids before, during and after the infusion, taking any pre-medications ordered by the physician and infusing the IgG slowly. At IgG America the nurse remains with the individual throughout the infusion and will help manage any side effects that may occur. Side effects are usually non-serious, temporary and easily treated with medications and rest.
