What Is GAMMAGARD LIQUID?

GAMMAGARD LIQUID is the only IVIG in clinical trials shown to improve grip strength and disability in MMN^*

GAMMAGARD LIQUID is an antibody therapy that contains immunoglobulin G (IgG). The term Ig means antibodies, like the ones you have in your immune system to fight infections. However, with MMN, your body's immune system may mistakenly attack your motor nerves. Ig therapy infuses a specific type of antibody into your body to support a healthy immune system. Your doctor might also refer to GAMMAGARD LIQUID as an Ig treatment, intravenous Ig or IVIG.

^*In a 60-week clinical study with 44 adults with MMN, GAMMAGARD LIQUID was shown to improve or maintain grip strength and disability compared to placebo.
