This podcast episode dives into the topic of subcutaneous immunoglobulins (SCIG). More precisely, we discuss the application of HyQvia®, an innovative medication for the subcutaneous administration of immunoglobulins facilitated by hyaluronidase.

HyQvia® is an immunoglobulin solution for subcutaneous application. Facilitated by recombinant human protein hyaluronidase, immunoglobulin absorption and bioavailability will be improved, allowing for the application of high immunoglobulin volumes. Thus, HyQvia® can be applied once or twice monthly at home.

Cuvitru® is a 20% immunoglobulin solution for subcutaneous application at home.

Kiovig® is a 10 % immunoglobulin solution that is applied intravenously (IVIG). Having been on the Swiss market since 2006 Kiovig® has been widely used for children and adults in indications such as primary immunodeficiency (PID), secondary immunodeficiency (SID) and rare autoimmune diseases (RAID).

In the last podcast episode we leave the topic of primary immunodeficiency (PID) and dive with Dr. med. Urs Steiner into the application of Cuvitru®, our subcutaneous immunoglobulin, in the treatment of secondary immunodeficiency (SID), with a focus on the positive effects of Cuvitru® on the patient's quality of life.

In the third episode, Prof. Mike Recher shares his great experiences in the treatment with subcutaneous immunoglobulins (SCIGs). He gives practical advice regarding treatment, background information on antibody levels during treatment and a small outlook on treatment with HyQvia®, a SCIG preparation with an innovative mechanism of action.
