User Reviews for HyQvia subcutaneous

It was difficult to administer at first but after several months I feel comfortable with the administration of the medication. My life has improved since I began taking this medication.

I wanted the convenience of having to infuse once a month, so I switched from Gammagard IVIG weekly. I went back to the tried and true Gammagard, the HyQvia was complicated to set up and use. After my doses I would feel tightness and a lot of muscle pain in the rib area. Did not like HyQvia at all.

Made a huge positive difference in my resistance to colds and other respiratory infections. Feeling less fatigued as well.

A bit complicated to set up everything and causes quite a bit of pain after the infusion, BUT it works very well and being able to space out administration of the drug every 4 weeks is great.

My dose of 37.5 g means 3 different sets of two vials, so setup and administration of the infusion is much more complicated than other sub-q products. Trainer from vials to bag, variable rate pump, push the RHH, and then infuse. More painful burning and headaches than hizentra, but only once every 3-4 WEEKS is great.
