Frequently asked questions about Vivaglobin

What is Vivaglobin?
Vivaglobin is a replacement for immunoglobulin G (IgG). IgG is one type of antibody that your immune system naturally makes to help you fight off things that make you sick, like viruses and bacteria. Vivaglobin is thought to work by boosting your immune system to help prevent infections when your immune system isn't working correctly (like in PI).
Is Vivaglobin still available?
No, Vivaglobin has been discontinued and is no longer available in the United States.
Why was Vivaglobin discontinued?
Vivaglobin was voluntarily discontinued by the manufacturer in 2011 due to supply issues. It wasn't pulled off of the market due to safety reasons or because it didn't work well.
Are there alternatives to Vivaglobin?
Yes. There are many immune globulin products available on the market that are used to treat PI. A few alternatives include Hizentra and Gammagard Liquid. Your provider can help guide you to the best treatment option for your condition.
