I was offered the provigen by the company as i am on disablitly and was thrown into the 2 year waiting period but was told it wasnt the right IvIg for me. So my question is ..whats the diffference in the 2?

manufacturer, preservatives, percent concentration, cost. FYI - i had migraines w one of the 2 you mentioned. Do not let people tell you all IgG’s are the same. Now that Lou gave you the list, you can see they are not. You will be in good hands here.

Thank You to all for your responses I finished my IvIg last week. I have found i needed the gammagard as it has the IvIga included in it. They also ran saline along with the gammaguard and the headaches were a WHOLE LOT Better!!
