What happens when IVIG becomes so difficult to tolerate that a patient is ready to stop treatment?
IgNS Chief Clinical Officer Amy Clark joins host Rachel Coletta to discuss IVIG tolerability, individualized infusion care, patient advocacy, and why “common” does not necessarily mean “acceptable.”
Amy shares the story of a patient who spent years experiencing severe symptoms following his IVIG treatments and had reached the point of wanting to discontinue therapy. What happened when the care team took a closer look at his experience illustrates the importance of listening, individualizing treatment, considering IVIG and SCIG options, and involving patients in decisions about their care.
