Hizentra® 20% Prefilled Syringe Administration: Best Practices and Administration Guidelines

Hizentra® is indicated for Primary immunodeficiency (PI) in adults and pediatric patients 2 years of age and older and maintenance therapy in adults with chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP). Upon initial FDA approval, Hizentra® was commercially available in vials only. The manufacturer of Hizentra®, CSL Behring, has since transitioned from vials to prefilled syringes (PFS). Hizentra® is available in 1 gm/5 mL, 2 gm/10 mL, 4 gm/20 mL, and 10 gm/50 mL sizes. The recommended Hizentra® dose and volume, rate per SC site and volume per SC site are typically greater in CIDP compared to PI. [More]
