Is IVIG a new Alzheimer treatment?
IVIG treatment has been available for many years and is approved by the FDA for treating several immune disorders. It has been safely used in hundreds of thousands of patients. According to the Plasma Protein Therapeutics Association about 37,000,000 grams of IVIG have been distributed for use in the past year in the US. This means that approximately 50,000 people in the US receive IVIG treatments monthly. This number has been steadily growing as researchers continue to find beneficial uses for these drugs.
