How long does it take for Gamunex-C to work?

The time it takes for Gamunex-C (immune globulin) to work depends on the condition being treated:

• Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyneuropathy (CIDP): Some improvement may be seen within 3 weeks, but most people experience full effects within 6 weeks.
• Idiopathic Thrombocytopenic Purpura (ITP): Platelet counts can increase to more than 50 x10⁹/L within 7 days after treatment.
• Primary Immunodeficiency (PI): Gamunex-C provides immediate antibodies to help fight infections. Protection begins shortly after dosing, with ongoing doses needed every 1-4 weeks.

For CIDP, tracking symptoms daily and discussing muscle strength measurements with your healthcare provider can help assess effectiveness.

How does Gamunex-C work?

Gamunex-C is an injectable immune globulin that is FDA approved to treat:

• Primary humoral immunodeficiency (PI)
• Idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP)
• Chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP)

It works by replacing IgG antibodies in your body to help fight infections and reduce inflammation that can damage myelin, the protective coating around nerves.
