Typical dosage for Varizig

Your provider will calculate your dose based on your body weight. The typical dose ranges from 62.5 to 625 international units (IU) injected into the muscle once, typically in the shoulder or thigh, by a healthcare provider. Depending on your dose, your provider might divide it and inject it in two or more injection sites.

You might give you a second dose of Varizig (varicella zoster immune globulin) if you've been exposed to chickenpox again after more than 3 weeks since your first Varizig (varicella zoster immune globulin) dose.
