WHAT HIZENTRA IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
WHAT HIZENTRA IS
Hizentra belongs to the class of medicines called human normal
immunoglobulins. Immunoglobulins
are also known as antibodies and are blood proteins that help your
body to fight infections.
HOW HIZENTRA WORKS
Hizentra contains immunoglobulins that have been prepared from the
blood of healthy people.
Immunoglobulins are produced by human body’s immune system. They
help your body to fight
infections caused by bacteria and viruses or maintain the balance in
your immune system (referred to
as immunomodulation). The medicine works in exactly the same way as
the immunoglobulins
naturally present in your blood.
WHAT HIZENTRA IS USED FOR
_Replacement therapy _
Hizentra is used to raise abnormally low immunoglobulin levels in your
blood to normal levels
(replacement therapy). The medicine is used in adults and children
(0-18 years) in the following
situations:

Treatment of patients who are born with a reduced ability or inability
to produce
immunoglobulins (primary immunodeficienci
