– Primary immune thrombocytopenia (ITP), in patients at high risk of bleeding or prior to surgery 

to correct the platelet count.
– Guillain-Barré syndrome.
– Kawasaki disease.
– Chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP). Only limited experience is 

available of use of intravenous immunoglobulins in children with CIDP.
– Multifocal motor neuropathy (MMN)

4.2 Posology and method of administration

Replacement therapy should be commenced and monitored under the supervision of a physician 
experienced in the treatment of immunodeficiency.

Posology
The dose and dose regimen is dependent on the indication.
In replacement therapy the dose may need to be individualised for each patient depending on the 
clinical response. The following dose regimens are given as a guideline.

Replacement therapy in primary immunodeficiency (PID) syndromes
The dose regimen should achieve a trough IgG level (measured before the next infusion) of at least 5
to 6 g/l. Three to six months are required after the initiation of therapy for equilibration to occur. The 
recommended starting dose is 0.4 to 0.8 g/kg body weight (bw) given once, followed by at least 
0.2 g/kg bw every 3 to 4 weeks.

The dose required to achieve a trough level of 5 to 6 g/l is of the order of 0.2 to 0.8 g/kg bw/month. 
The dosage interval when steady state has been reached varies from 3 to 4 weeks.
Trough levels should be measured and assessed in conjunction with the patient’s clinical response. 
Depending on the clinical response (e.g. infection rate), adjustment of the dose and/or the dose interval 
may be considered in order to aim for higher trough levels.

Secondary immunodeficiencies (as defined in 4.1)
The recommended dose is 0.2 – 0.4 g/kg every three to four weeks.

IgG trough levels should be measured and assessed in conjunction with the incidence of infection. 
Dose should be adjusted as necessary to achieve optimal protection against infections, an increase may 
be necessary in patients with persisting infection; a dose decrease can be considered when the patient 
remains infection free.

Primary immune thrombocytopenia (ITP)
There are two alternative treatment schedules:
 0.8 to 1g/kg bw given on day 1; this dose may be repeated once within 3 days
 0.4 g/kg bw given daily for 2 to 5 days.
The treatment can be repeated if relapse occurs.

Guillain-Barré syndrome
0.4 g/kg bw/day over 5 days.

Kawasaki disease
1.6 to 2.0 g/kg bw should be administered in divided doses over 2 to 5 days or 2.0 g/kg bw as a single 
dose.
Patients should receive concomitant treatment with acetylsalicylic acid.

Chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP)*
The recommended starting dose is 2 g/kg bw divided over 2 to 5 consecutive days followed by 
maintenance doses of 1 g/kg bw over 1 to 2 consecutive days every 3 weeks.



4

Multifocal Motor Neuropathy (MMN)
Starting dose: 2 g/kg given over 2-5 consecutive days.
Maintenance dose: 1 g/kg every 2 to 4 weeks or 2 g/kg every 4 to 8 weeks.
The treatment effect should be evaluated after each cycle. If insufficient treatment effect is seen after 6 
months, the treatment should be discontinued.
If the treatment is effective, long term treatment should be subject to the physician’s discretion based 
upon the patient response. The dosing and intervals may have to be adapted according to the 
individual course of the disease.

The dosage recommendations are summarised in the following table:

Indication Dose Frequency of injections

*The dose is based on the dose used in the clinical studies conducted with Privigen. The duration of 
treatment beyond 25 weeks should be subject to the physician’s discretion based upon the patient 
response and maintenance response in the long-term. The dosing and intervals may have to be adapted 
according to the individual course of the disease.

Paediatric population



5

The posology in children and adolescents (0-18 years) is not different from that of adults as the 
posology for each indication is given by body weight and adjusted to the clinical outcome of the above 
mentioned conditions.

Method of administration
For intravenous use.
Privigen should be infused intravenously at an initial infusion rate of 0.3 ml/kg bw/hr for
approximately 30 min. If well tolerated (see section 4.4), the rate of administration may gradually be 
increased to a maximum of 4.8 ml/kg bw/hr.

In PID patients who have tolerated the infusion rate of 4.8 ml/kg bw/hr well, the rate may be further 
gradually increased to a maximum of 7.2 ml/kg bw/hr.

If dilution prior to infusion is desired, Privigen may be diluted with 5% glucose solution to a final 
concentration of 50 mg/ml (5%). For instruction, see section 6.6.

4.3 Contraindications

Hypersensitivity to the active substance or to any of the excipients listed in section 6.1 (see also
section 4.4).
Hypersensitivity to human immunoglobulins, especially in patients with antibodies against IgA.
Patients with hyperprolinaemia type I or II.

4.4 Special warnings and precautions for use

Certain severe adverse reactions may be related to the rate of infusion. The recommended infusion rate 
given under section 4.2 must be closely followed. Patients must be closely monitored and carefully 
observed for any symptoms throughout the infusion period.

Certain adverse reactions may occur more frequently:
– in case of high rate of infusion,
– in patients with hypogammaglobulinaemia or agammaglobulinaemia, with or without IgA 

deficiency,
– in patients who receive human normal immunoglobulin for the first time or, in rare cases, when 

the human normal immunoglobulin product is switched or when there has been a long interval 
since the previous infusion.

Potential complications can often be avoided by ensuring that patients:
– are not sensitive to human normal immunoglobulin by initially infusing the product slowly 

(0.3 ml/kg bw/hr);
– are carefully monitored for any symptoms throughout the infusion period. In particular, patients 

naive to human normal immunoglobulin, patients switched from an alternative IVIg product or 
when there has been a long interval since the previous infusion should be monitored during the 
first infusion and for the first hour after the first infusion, in order to detect potential adverse 
signs. All other patients should be observed for at least 20 minutes after administration.

In case of adverse reaction, either the rate of administration must be reduced or the infusion stopped. 
The treatment required depends on the nature and severity of the adverse reaction.
In case of shock, standard medical treatment for shock should be implemented.

In all patients, IVIg administration requires:
– adequate hydration prior to the initiation of the infusion of IVIg
– monitoring of urine output
– monitoring of serum creatinine levels
– avoidance of concomitant use of loop diuretics.
For patients suffering from diabetes mellitus and requiring dilution of Privigen to lower 
concentrations, the presence of glucose in the recommended diluent should be taken into account.



6

Hypersensitivity
True hypersensitivity reactions are rare. They can occur in patients with anti-IgA antibodies.

IVIg is not indicated in patients with selective IgA deficiency where the IgA deficiency is the only 
abnormality of concern.

Rarely, human normal immunoglobulin can induce a fall in blood pressure with anaphylactoid
reaction, even in patients who had tolerated previous treatment with human normal immunoglobulin.

Haemolytic anaemia
IVIg products can contain blood group antibodies which may act as haemolysins and induce in vivo 
coating of red blood cells (RBC) with immunoglobulin, causing a positive direct antiglobulin reaction 
(Coombs’ test) and, rarely, haemolysis. Haemolytic anaemia can develop subsequent to IVIg therapy 
due to enhanced RBC sequestration.
Isolated cases of haemolysis-related renal dysfunction/renal failure or disseminated intravascular 
coagulation and death have occurred.
The following risk factors are associated with the development of haemolysis: high doses, whether 
given as a single administration or divided over several days; non-O blood group; and underlying 
inflammatory state. As this event was commonly reported in non-O blood group patients receiving 
high doses for non-PID indications, increased vigilance is recommended. Haemolysis has rarely been 
reported in patients given replacement therapy for PID.

IVIg recipients should be monitored for clinical signs and symptoms of haemolysis. If signs and/or 
symptoms of haemolysis develop during or after an IVIg infusion, discontinuation of the IVIg 
treatment should be considered by the treating physician (see also section 4.8).

Aseptic meningitis syndrome (AMS)
Aseptic meningitis syndrome has been reported to occur in association with IVIg treatment.
Discontinuation of IVIg treatment has resulted in remission of AMS within several days without 
sequelae. The syndrome usually begins within several hours to 2 days following IVIg treatment. 
Cerebrospinal fluid studies are frequently positive with pleocytosis up to several thousand cells per 
mm3, predominantly from the granulocytic series, and elevated protein levels up to several hundred 
mg/dl.
AMS may occur more frequently in association with high-dose (2 g/kg) IVIg treatment.

Thromboembolism
There is clinical evidence of an association between IVIg administration and thromboembolic events 
such as myocardial infarction, cerebral vascular accident (including stroke), pulmonary embolism and 
deep vein thromboses which is assumed to be related to a relative increase in blood viscosity through 
the high influx of immunoglobulin in at-risk patients. Caution should be exercised in prescribing and 
infusing IVIg in obese patients and in patients with pre-existing risk factors for thrombotic events 
(such as advanced age, hypertension, diabetes mellitus and a history of vascular disease or thrombotic 
episodes, patients with acquired or inherited thrombophilic disorders, patients with prolonged periods 
of immobilisation, severely hypovolaemic patients, patients with diseases which increase blood 
viscosity).

In patients at risk for thromboembolic adverse reactions, IVIg products should be administered at the 
minimum rate of infusion and dose practicable.

Acute renal failure
Cases of acute renal failure have been reported in patients receiving IVIg therapy. In most cases risk 
factors have been identified, such as pre-existing renal insufficiency, diabetes mellitus, hypovolaemia, 
overweight, concomitant nephrotoxic medicinal products or age over 65.
In case of renal impairment, IVIg discontinuation should be considered. While these reports of renal 
dysfunction and acute renal failure have been associated with the use of many of the licensed IVIg 
products containing various excipients such as sucrose, glucose and maltose, those containing sucrose 



7

as a stabiliser accounted for a disproportionate share of the total number. In patients at risk, the use of 
IVIg products that do not contain sucrose should therefore be considered. Privigen does not contain 
sucrose, maltose or glucose.
In patients at risk of acute renal failure, IVIg products should be administered at the minimum rate of 
infusion and dose practicable.

Transfusion-related acute lung injury (TRALI)
Noncardiogenic pulmonary edema may very rarely occur following treatment with IVIg products. 
TRALI is characterized by severe respiratory distress, pulmonary edema, hypoxemia, normal left 
ventricular function, and fever. Symptoms typically appear within 1 to 6 hours following treatment.
Monitor patients for pulmonary adverse reactions. TRALI may be managed using oxygen therapy with 
adequate ventilatory support.

Interference with serological testing
After injection of immunoglobulin, the transitory rise of the various passively transferred antibodies in 
the patient's blood may result in misleading positive results in serological testing.

Passive transmission of antibodies to erythrocyte antigens, e.g. A, B, D, may interfere with some 
serological tests for red cell antibodies, for example the direct antiglobulin test (DAT, direct Coombs’ 
test).

Transmissible agents
Privigen is made from human plasma. Standard measures to prevent infections resulting from the use 
of medicinal products prepared from human blood or plasma include selection of donors, screening of 
individual donations and plasma pools for specific markers of infection and the inclusion of effective 
manufacturing steps for the inactivation/removal of viruses. Despite this, when medicinal products 
prepared from human blood or plasma are administered, the possibility of transmitting infective agents 
cannot be totally excluded. This also applies to unknown or emerging viruses and other pathogens.

The measures taken are considered effective for enveloped viruses such as human immunodeficiency 
virus (HIV), hepatitis B virus (HBV), and hepatitis C virus (HCV) and for the non-enveloped viruses 
such as hepatitis A virus (HAV) and parvovirus B19.

There is reassuring clinical experience regarding the lack of hepatitis A or parvovirus B19 
transmission with immunoglobulins and it is also assumed that the antibody content makes an 
important contribution to the viral safety.

It is strongly recommended that every time Privigen is administered to a patient, the name and batch 
number of the product are recorded in order to maintain a link between the patient and the batch of the 
product.

Sodium content
Privigen is essentially sodium-free.

Paediatric population
Although limited data is available, it is expected that the same warnings, precautions and risk factors
apply to the paediatric population. In post marketing reports it is observed that IVIG high-dose 
indications in children, particularly Kawasaki disease, are associated with an increased reporting rate 
of haemolytic reactions compared to other IVIG indications in children.

4.5 Interaction with other medicinal products and other forms of interaction

Live attenuated virus vaccines
Immunoglobulin administration may impair for a period of at least 6 weeks and up to 3 months the 
efficacy of live attenuated virus vaccines such as measles, rubella, mumps, and varicella. After 
administration of this medicinal product, an interval of 3 months should elapse before vaccination with 



8

live attenuated virus vaccines. In the case of measles, this impairment may persist for up to 1 year. 
Therefore, patients receiving measles vaccine should have their antibody status checked.

Paediatric population
Although limited data is available, it is expected that the same interactions may occur in the paediatric 
population.

4.6 Fertility, pregnancy and lactation

Pregnancy
The safety of this medicinal product for use in human pregnancy has not been established in controlled 
clinical trials and therefore should only be given with caution to pregnant women and breast-feeding 
mothers. IVIg products have been shown to cross the placenta, increasingly during the third trimester.
Clinical experience with immunoglobulins suggests that no harmful effects on the course of 
pregnancy, or on the foetus and the neonate are to be expected.
Experimental studies of the excipient L-proline carried out in animals found no direct or indirect 
toxicity affecting pregnancy, embryonal or foetal development.

Breast-feeding
Immunoglobulins are excreted into the milk and may contribute to protecting the neonate from 
pathogens which have a mucosal portal of entry.

Fertility
Clinical experience with immunoglobulins suggests that no harmful effects on fertility are to be 
expected.

4.7 Effects on ability to drive and use machines

The ability to drive and operate machines may be impaired by some adverse reactions associated with 
Privigen. Patients who experience adverse reactions during treatment should wait for these to resolve 
before driving or operating machines.

4.8 Undesirable effects

Summary of the safety profile

Adverse reactions such as chills, headache, dizziness, fever, vomiting, allergic reactions, nausea, 
arthralgia, low blood pressure and moderate low back pain may occur occasionally in connection with 
intravenous administration of human immunoglobulin.

Rarely human normal immunoglobulins may cause a sudden fall in blood pressure and, in isolated 
cases, anaphylactic shock, even when the patient has shown no hypersensitivity to previous 
administration.

Cases of reversible aseptic meningitis and rare cases of transient cutaneous reactions (including 
cutaneous lupus erythematosus – frequency unknown) have been observed with human normal 
immunoglobulin.

Reversible haemolytic reactions have been observed in patients, especially those with non-O blood 
groups in immunomodulatory treatment. Rarely, haemolytic anaemia requiring transfusion may 
develop after high dose IVIg treatment (see section 4.4).

Increase in serum creatinine level and/or acute renal failure have been observed.

Very rarely: Transfusion related acute lung injury and thromboembolic reactions such as myocardial 
infarction, stroke, pulmonary embolism and deep vein thromboses.

Tabulated list of adverse reactions
Six clinical studies were performed with Privigen, which included patients with PID, ITP and CIDP. 
In the pivotal PID study, 80 patients were enrolled and treated with Privigen. Of these, 72 completed 
the 12 months of treatment. In the PID extension study, 55 patients were enrolled and treated with 
Privigen. The two ITP studies were performed with 57 patients each. The two CIDP studies were
performed with 28 and 207 patients, respectively.

Paediatric Population
In Privigen clinical studies with paediatric patients, the frequency, nature and severity of adverse 
reactions did not differ between children and adults. In post marketing reports it is observed that the 
proportion of haemolysis cases to all case reports occurring in children is slightly higher than in adults.
Please refer to section 4.4 for details on risk factors and monitoring recommendations.

Reporting of suspected adverse reactions 
Reporting suspected adverse reactions after authorisation of the medicinal product is important. It 
allows continued monitoring of the benefit/risk balance of the medicinal product. Healthcare 
professionals are asked to report any suspected adverse reactions via the national reporting system 
listed in Appendix V.

4.9 Overdose

Overdose may lead to fluid overload and hyperviscosity, particularly in patients at risk, including 
elderly patients or patients with cardiac or renal impairment.

5. PHARMACOLOGICAL PROPERTIES

5.1 Pharmacodynamic properties

Pharmacotherapeutic group: immune sera and immunoglobulins: immunoglobulins, normal human, 
for intravascular administration, ATC code: J06BA02.
Human normal immunoglobulin contains mainly immunoglobulin G (IgG) with a broad spectrum of 
antibodies against infectious agents.

Human normal immunoglobulin contains the IgG antibodies present in the normal population. It is 
usually prepared from pooled plasma from not fewer than 1,000 donors. It has a distribution of 
immunoglobulin G subclasses closely proportional to that in native human plasma. Adequate doses of 
this medicinal product may restore abnormally low immunoglobulin G levels to the normal range and 
thus help against infections.
The mechanism of action in indications other than replacement therapy is not fully elucidated, but 
includes immunomodulatory effects.

The safety and efficacy of Privigen was evaluated in 6 prospective, open-label, single-arm, multicenter 
studies performed in Europe (ITP, PID and CIDP studies) and the USA (PID study).

PID
The PID pivotal study included a total of 80 patients aged between 3 and 69 years old. 19 children (3 
to 11 years), 12 adolescents (12 to 16 years) and 49 adults were treated with Privigen over 12 months. 

http://www.ema.europa.eu/docs/en_GB/document_library/Template_or_form/2013/03/WC500139752.doc


11

1038 infusions were administered, 272 (in 16 patients) in the 3-week schedule and 766 (in 64 patients) 
in the 4-week schedule. The median doses administered for the 3-week and 4-week treatment 
schedules were almost identical to each other (428.3 vs. 440.6 mg IgG/ kg bw).The PID extension 
study included a total of 55 patients aged between 4 and 81 years old. 13 children (3 to 11 years), 
8 adolescents (12 to 15 years) and 34 adults were treated with Privigen over 29 months. 771 infusions 
were administered and the median dose administered was 492.3 mg IgG/kg bw.

ITP
In the ITP pivotal study, in total 57 patients aged between 15 and 69 years old were treated with 2 
infusions of Privigen for a total of 114 infusions. The scheduled dose of 1 g/kg bw per infusion was 
closely adhered to in all patients (median 2 g IgG/kg bw).

In the second ITP study, 57 patients with ITP (baseline platelet counts ≤ 30×109 / l) aged between 18 
and 65 years were treated with Privigen at 1 g/kg bw. On day 3 patients could receive a second dose of 
1 g/ kg bw, for patients with a platelet count of < 50×109 / l on day 3 this second dose was mandatory. 
Overall, in 42 subjects (74 %) the platelet count increased at least once to ≥ 50×109 / l within 6 days 
after the first infusion, which was well within the expected range. A second dose in subjects with 
platelet counts ≥ 50×109 /l after the first dose provided a relevant additional benefit in terms of higher 
and longer-lasting increases in platelet counts compared to a single dose. In subjects with platelet 
counts < 50×109 / l after the first dose, 30% showed a platelet response of ≥ 50×109 / l after the 
mandatory second dose.

CIDP
In the first CIDP study, a prospective multicenter open label trial (Privigen impact on mobility and 
autonomy PRIMA study), 28 patients (13 subjects who have previously received IVIG and 15 subjects
not) were treated with a Privigen loading dose of 2g/kg bw given over 2-5 days followed by 6 
maintenance doses of 1g/kg bw over 1-2 days every three weeks. Previously treated patients were 
withdrawn from IVIG until confirmed deterioration before start of Privigen. On the adjusted 10 point 
INCAT (Inflammatory Neuropathy Cause and Treatment) scale a clinically meaningful improvement 
of at least 1-point from baseline to treatment week 25 was observed in 17 out of 28 patients. The 
INCAT responder rate was 60.7% (95% confidence interval [42.41, 76.4]). 9 patients responded after 
receiving the initial induction dose by week 4, 16 patients responded by week 10.

Muscle strength as measured by the MRC (Medical Research Council) Score improved in all patients 
by 6.9 points (95% confidence interval [4.11, 9.75], in previously treated patients by 6.1 points (95% 
confidence interval [2.72, 9.44]) and in untreated patients by 7.7 points (95% confidence interval 
[2.89, 12.44]). The MRC responder rate, an increase of at least 3 points, was 84.8% which was similar 
in previously treated (81.5% [58.95, 100.00]) and untreated (86.7% [69.46, 100.00]) patients.
In patients defined as INCAT non-responders, muscle strength improved by 5.5 points (95% 
confidence interval [0.6, 10.2]) as compared to INCAT responders (7.4 points (95% confidence 
interval [4.0, 11.7])

In a second prospective, multicenter randomized, placebo-controlled clinical study (Polyneuropathy 
and Treatment with Hizentra, PATH trial), 207 subjects with CIDP were treated with Privigen in the 
prerandomization phase of the study. Subjects all with IVIg pretreatment of at least 8 weeks and with
an IVIg-dependence confirmed by clinically evident deterioration during an IVIg withdrawal phase of 
up to 12 weeks, received a Privigen loading dose of 2 g/kg bw followed by up to 4 Privigen 
maintenance doses of 1 g/kg bw every 3 weeks for up to 13 weeks.
Following clinical deterioration during IVIg withdrawal, clinical improvement of CIDP was primarily 
defined by a decrease of ≥ 1 point at the adjusted INCAT score. Additional measures of CIDP 
improvement were an increase in R-ODS (Rasch-built Overall Disability Scale) score of ≥ 4 points, a 
mean grip strength increase of ≥ 8 kPa, or an MRC sum score increase of ≥ 3 points. Overall, 91 % of 
subjects (188 patients) showed improvement in at least one of the criteria above by week 13.
By adjusted INCAT score, the responder rate by week 13 was 72.9 % (151 / 207 patients), with 
149 patients responding already by week 10. A total of 43 of the 207 patients achieved a better CIDP 
status as assessed by the adjusted INCAT score compared to their CIDP status at study entry.



12

The mean improvement at the end of the treatment period compared to reference visit was 1.4 points 
in the PRIMA (1.8 points in IVIg pretreated subjects) and 1.2 points in PATH study.

In PRIMA, the percentage of responders in the overall Medical Research Council (MRC) score
(defined as an increase by ≥ 3 points) was 85 % (87 % in the IVIg-untreated and 82 % in IVIg-
pretreated) and 57 % in PATH. The overall median time to first MRC sum score response in PRIMA 
was 6 weeks (6 weeks in the IVIg-untreated and 3 weeks in the IVIg-pretreated) and 9.3 weeks in 
PATH. MRC sum score in PRIMA improved by 6.9 points (7.7 points for IVIg-untreated and 
6.1 points for IVIg-pretreated) and by 3.6 points in PATH.
The grip strength of the dominant hand improved by 14.1 kPa (17.0 kPa in IVIg-untreated and 
10.8 kPa in IVIg pretreated subjects) in the PRIMA study, while in PATH the grip strength of the 
dominant hand improved by 12.2 kPa. For the non dominant hand similar results were observed in 
both PRIMA and PATH trials.

The efficacy and safety profile in the PRIMA and the PATH study in CIDP patients were overall 
comparable.

Paediatric population
No differences were seen in the pharmacodynamic properties between adult and paediatric study 
patients.

5.2 Pharmacokinetic properties

Absorption
Human normal immunoglobulin is immediately and completely bioavailable in the recipient's 
circulation after intravenous administration.

Distribution
It is distributed relatively rapidly between plasma and extravascular fluid, after approximately 3-5 
days equilibrium is reached between the intra- and extravascular compartments.

Elimination
IgG and IgG complexes are broken down in the cells of the reticuloendothelial system. The half-life 
may vary from patient to patient. The pharmacokinetic parameters for Privigen were determined in a 
clinical study in PID patients (see section 5.1). 25 patients (aged 13-69 years) participated in the 
pharmacokinetic (PK) assessment. In this study, the median half-life of Privigen in PID patients was 
36.6 days. In an extension of this study, 13 PID patients (aged 3-65 years) participated in a PK sub-
study. The results of this study show the median half-life of Privigen to be 31.1 days (see table below).

5.3 Preclinical safety data

Immunoglobulins are a normal constituent of the human body. L-proline is a physiological, non-
essential amino acid.

The safety of Privigen has been assessed in several preclinical studies, with particular reference to the 
excipient L-proline. Some published studies pertaining to hyperprolinaemia have shown that long-
term, high doses of L-proline have effects on brain development in very young rats. However, in 
studies where the dosing was designed to reflect the clinical indications for Privigen, no effects on 
brain development were observed. Non-clinical data reveal no special risk for humans based on safety 
pharmacology and toxicity studies.

Package leaflet: Information for the user

Privigen 100 mg/ml (10%) solution for infusion
Human normal immunoglobulin (IVIg)

Read all of this leaflet carefully before you start using this medicine because it contains 
important information for you.

- Keep this leaflet. You may need to read it again.
- If you have any further questions, ask your doctor or healthcare professional.
- If you get any side effects, talk to your doctor or healthcare professional. This includes any 

possible side effects not listed in this leaflet.

3. How to use Privigen
4. Possible side effects
5. How to store Privigen
6. Contents of the pack and other information

1. What Privigen is and what it is used for

What Privigen is

Privigen belongs to the class of medicines called human normal immunoglobulins. Immunoglobulins 
are also known as antibodies and are blood proteins that help your body to fight infections.

How Privigen works

Privigen contains immunoglobulins that have been prepared from the blood of healthy people. The 
medicine works in exactly the same way as the immunoglobulins naturally present in human blood of 
healthy people.

What Privigen is used for

Privigen is used for the treatment of adults and children (0-18 years) in the following situations:

A) to increase abnormally low immunoglobulin levels in your blood to normal levels (replacement 
therapy):
1. Patients who are born with a reduced ability or inability to produce immunoglobulins

(primary immunodeficiencies (PID)).
2. Patients with an acquired immunodeficiency (SID) who suffer from severe or recurrent 

infections, ineffective antimicrobial treatment and either proven specific antibody failure 
or serum IgG level of <4 g/l.

B) to treat certain inflammatory disorders (immunomodulation). There are 5 groups:
1. Patients who do not have enough blood platelets (primary immune thrombocytopenia

(ITP) and who are at high risk of bleeding or will have surgery in the near future.
2. Patients with Guillain-Barré syndrome. This is an acute disease that is characterised by 

inflammation of the peripheral nerves that causes severe muscle weakness mainly in the 
legs and upper limbs.

3. Patients with Kawasaki disease. This is an acute disease that primarily affects young 
children. It is characterised by inflammation of blood vessels throughout the body.



27

4. Patients with chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP). This is a 
chronic disease that is characterised by inflammation of the peripheral nerves that causes 
muscle weakness and/or numbness mainly in the legs and upper limbs.

5. Patients with multifocal motor neuropathy (MMN). This is a slowly progressive disease of 
the motor nerves with weakness of arms and legs.

2. What you need to know before you are given Privigen

 Read this section carefully. The information given should be taken into consideration by you 
and your doctor before you are given Privigen.

Do NOT take Privigen
 if you are allergic to human immunoglobulins or to proline.
 if you have developed antibodies against immunoglobulins of the type IgA in your blood.
 if you suffer from hyperprolinaemia type I or II (a genetic disorder causing high levels of the 

amino acid proline in the blood). This is an extremely rare disorder. Only a few families with 
this disease are known worldwide.

Warnings and precautions

Which circumstances increase the risk of having side effects?
 Tell your doctor or healthcare professional prior to treatment if any of the circumstances listed 

below applies to you:
 You receive this medicine in high doses either on 1 day or over several days and you have a 

blood group A, B or AB and/or you have an underlying inflammatory condition. In these 
circumstances, it has been commonly reported that immunoglobulins increase the risk of 
breakdown of red blood cells (haemolysis).

 You are overweight, are elderly, have diabetes, have been bedridden for a long time, have high 
blood pressure, have low blood volume (hypovolaemia), have problems with your blood vessels 
(vascular diseases), have an increased tendency for blood clotting (thrombophilia or thrombotic 
episodes) or have a disease or a condition which causes your blood to thicken (hyperviscous 
blood). In these circumstances, immunoglobulins may increase the risk of heart attack (cardiac 
infarction), stroke, blood clots in the lung (lung embolism), or blockage of a blood vessel in the 
leg, although only very rarely.

 You are diabetic. Although Privigen does not contain sugar, it may be diluted with a special 
sugar solution (5% glucose), which could affect your blood sugar level.

 You have or had previously problems with your kidneys or take medicinal products that may 
harm your kidneys (nephrotoxic medicinal products). In these circumstances, immunoglobulins 
may increase the risk of serious rapid loss of kidney function (acute renal failure) although only 
very rarely. Loss of kidney function with fatal outcome has occurred in isolated haemolysis-
related cases.

What kind of monitoring is required during the infusion?
For your personal safety, treatment with Privigen will take place under the supervision of your doctor 
or healthcare professional. You will usually be observed during the whole infusion and for at least 20 
minutes thereafter. In certain circumstances, special precautions may be necessary. Examples of such 
circumstances are:
 you are receiving Privigen at a high infusion rate or
 you are receiving Privigen for the first time or after a long break in treatment (e.g. several 

months).
In these cases you will be closely observed during the whole infusion and for at least 1 hour 
afterwards.

When may slowing or stopping the infusion be required?



28

 You may be allergic (hypersensitive) to immunoglobulins without knowing it.
However, true allergic reactions are rare. They may occur even if you have previously received 
human immunoglobulins and had tolerated them well. It may happen particularly if you have 
developed antibodies against immunoglobulins of the type IgA. In these rare cases allergic 
reactions such as a sudden fall in blood pressure or shock may occur (see also section 4 
“Possible side effects”).

 In very rare cases transfusion-related acute lung injury (TRALI) can occur after receiving 
immunoglobulins. This will lead to non-heart related accumulation of fluid in the air spaces of 
the lungs (non-cardiogenic pulmonary oedema). You will recognize TRALI by severe difficulty 
in breathing (respiratory distress), abnormally low level of oxygen in the blood (hypoxemia), 
normal heart function (left ventricular function) and increased body temperature (fever). 
Symptoms typically appear within 1 to 6 hours after receiving treatment.
 Tell your doctor or healthcare professional immediately if you notice such reactions 

during the infusion of Privigen. He or she will decide whether to decrease the infusion 
rate or to stop the infusion completely.

Blood tests
 Tell your doctor about your treatment with Privigen prior to having any blood tests.

After receiving Privigen, the results of certain blood tests (serological tests) may be impaired for a 
certain time.

Information on safety with respect to infections
Privigen is made from human blood plasma (this is the liquid part of the blood).
When medicines are made from human blood or plasma, certain measures are put in place to prevent 
infections being passed on to patients. These include:
 careful selection of blood and plasma donors to make sure those at risk of carrying infections 

are excluded,
 the testing of each donation and pools of plasma for signs of virus/infections,
 the inclusion of steps in the processing of the blood or plasma that can inactivate or remove

viruses.
Despite these measures, when medicines prepared from human blood or plasma are administered, the 
possibility of passing on infection cannot be totally excluded. This also applies to any unknown or 
emerging viruses and other types of infections.

The measures taken are considered effective for enveloped viruses such as human immunodeficiency 
virus (HIV), hepatitis B virus and hepatitis C virus, and for the non-enveloped hepatitis A virus and 
parvovirus B19.

Immunoglobulins have not been associated with hepatitis A or parvovirus B19 infections, possibly 
because antibodies against these infections, which are contained in the product, are protective.
 It is strongly recommended that every time you are given a dose of Privigen the name and batch 

number of the product are recorded in order to maintain a record of the batches used.

Other medicines and Privigen

 Tell your doctor or healthcare professional if you are using, have recently used or might use any 
other medicines.

Vaccinations
 Tell your vaccinating doctor prior to a vaccination about your treatment with Privigen.

After receiving Privigen, the efficacy of certain vaccinations may be impaired. Affected are 
vaccinations with live attenuated virus vaccines such as vaccinations against measles, mumps, rubella 
and varicella. Such vaccinations should be postponed for at least 3 months after the last infusion of 
Privigen. In the case of measles vaccinations the impairment may persist for up to 1 year. Therefore,
your vaccinating doctor should check the effectiveness of the measles vaccination.



29

Pregnancy and breast-feeding

 Tell your doctor or healthcare professional if you are pregnant, plan to become pregnant or are
breast-feeding. Your doctor will decide whether you can receive Privigen during your 
pregnancy or while you are breast-feeding.

Medicines containing antibodies have been used in pregnant and breast-feeding women. Long-term
experience has shown that no harmful effects during the course of the pregnancy or to the newborn are 
to be expected.
If you receive Privigen while you are breast-feeding the antibodies in this medicine will also be found 
in the breast milk. Thus, also your baby can receive the protective antibodies.

Driving and using machines

Patients may experience effects, such as dizziness or nausea, during treatment with Privigen that might 
affect the ability to drive and use machines. If this happens, you should not drive or use machines until
these effects have disappeared.

Privigen contains proline

You must not take it if you suffer from hyperprolinaemia (see also section 2 “What you need to know 
before you are given Privigen”).
 Tell your doctor prior to treatment.

3. How to use Privigen

Privigen is intended solely for the infusion into a vein (intravenous infusion). It is usually administered 
by your doctor or healthcare professional. Your doctor will calculate the correct dose for you taking 
into account your weight, the specific circumstances listed under section 2 “Warnings and 
precautions” and response to treatment. The dose calculation for children and young patients is not 
different from that for adults. At the beginning of the infusion you will receive Privigen at a slow 
infusion rate. If you tolerate this well, your doctor can gradually increase the infusion rate.

If you receive more Privigen than you should

Overdose is very unlikely to occur because Privigen is usually administered under medical 
supervision. If, in spite of this, you receive more Privigen than you should, your blood may become 
too thick (hyperviscous) which might increase the risk of developing blood clots. This may happen 
particularly if you are a patient at risk, for example if you are elderly or if you suffer from a heart or
kidney disease. Tell your doctor if you are known to have medical problems.

4. Possible side effects

Like all medicines, this medicine can cause side effects, although not everybody gets them. Possible 
side effects may be reduced or even avoided by infusing Privigen at a slow infusion rate. Such side 
effects may occur even if you have previously received human immunoglobulins and tolerated them 
well.

In rare and isolated cases, the following side effects have been reported with immunoglobulin 
preparations:
 severe hypersensitivity reactions such as a sudden fall in blood pressure or anaphylactic shock 

(e.g. you may feel light-headed, dizzy, faint on standing, cold in the hands and feet, sense an 



30

abnormal heart beat or chest pain, or have blurred vision) even when you have shown no 
hypersensitivity on previous infusions,
 Tell your doctor or healthcare professional immediately if you notice such signs during 

the infusion of Privigen. He or she will decide whether to decrease the infusion rate or to 
stop the infusion completely.

 formation of blood clots which may be carried off in the blood circulation (thromboembolic 
reactions) and which may result e.g. in myocardial infarction (e.g. when you have sudden chest 
pain or shortness of breath), stroke (e.g. when you have a sudden onset of muscle weakness, 
have loss of sensation and/or balance, decreased alertness or difficulty in speaking), blood clots 
in the arteries of the lungs (e.g. when you have chest pain, difficulty in breathing or are 
coughing up blood), deep vein thrombosis (e.g. when you have redness, feel warmth, pain, 
tenderness, or have a swelling of one or both legs),

 chest pain, chest discomfort, painful respiration due to transfusion related lung injury (TRALI)
 Tell your doctor or healthcare professional immediately if you have any of the above 

symptoms. Anyone experiencing such symptoms should immediately be transported to a 
hospital emergency room for evaluation and treatment.

 temporary non-infectious meningitis (reversible aseptic meningitis),
 Tell your doctor or healthcare professional immediately if you have a stiff neck together 

with one or more of the following symptoms: fever, nausea, vomiting, headache, 
abnormal sensitivity to light, mental disturbances.

 increase in blood creatinine level,
 proteinuria,
 acute renal failure,
 transient decrease in red blood cells (reversible haemolytic anaemia/haemolysis), anaemia, 

leukopenia, anisocytosis (including microcytosis).

Side effects observed in controlled clinical studies and in post-marketing experience are presented in o
rder of decreasing frequency:

Very Common (may occur with more than 1 in 10 patients):
Headache (including sinus headache, migraine, head discomfort, tension headache), upset stomach (na
usea), pain (including back pain, pain in extremity, pain in joints and bones (arthralgia), neck pain, fac
ial pain), fever (including chills), flu-like illness (including runny nose (nasopharyngitis), sore throat (
pharyngolaryngeal pain), blisters in mouth and throat (oropharyngeal blistering), throat tightness.

Routine laboratory tests may commonly reveal changes to liver functions (hyperbilirubinaemia) as 
well as changes in blood count (e.g. Coombs’ (direct) test positive), increased alanine 
aminotransferase, increased aspartate aminotransferase, increased blood lactate dehydrogenase).

Uncommon (may occur with up to 1 in 100 patients):
Temporary non-infectious meningitis (reversible aseptic meningitis), irregularity of red blood cell 
shape (microscopic finding), presence of high platelet counts in the blood (thrombocytosis),
sleepiness, shiver (tremor), palpitations, tachycardia, thromboembolic events, lack of blood supply to 
the lower extremities causing e.g. pain when walking (peripheral vascular disorder), presence of an 
excess of serum proteins in the urine (proteinuria including increased blood creatinine), injection site 
pain



31

In isolated cases (post-marketing experience), the following have been observed in patients treated 
with Privigen: abnormally low level of specific white blood cells called neutrophils (decreased 
neutrophils counts), anaphylactic shock, painful respiration due to transfusion related lung injury 
(TRALI) and acute renal failure.

 If you get any side effects, talk to your doctor or healthcare professional. This includes any 
possible side effects not listed in this leaflet.

Please also refer to section 2 “What you need to know before you are given Privigen” for additional 
details on circumstances which increase the risk of side effects.

Posology and method of administration

The dosage recommendations are summarised in the following table:



34

Indication Dose Frequency of injections

Replacement therapy

Primary immunodeficiency syndromes 
(PID)

starting dose:
0.4 - 0.8 g/kg bw

maintenance dose:

0.2 - 0.8 g/kg bw

every 3 to 4 weeks to obtain IgG 
trough levels of at least 5 - 6 g/l

Secondary immunodeficiencies (as 
defined in 4.1)

0.2 - 0.4 g/kg bw every 3 to 4 weeks 

Immunomodulation

Primary immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) 0.8 - 1 g/kg bw

or

on day 1, possibly repeated once 
within 3 days

0.4 g/kg bw/d for 2 to 5 days

Guillain-Barré syndrome 0.4 g/kg bw/d for 5 days

Kawasaki disease 1.6 – 2 g/kg bw

or

2 g/kg bw

over 2 to 5 consecutive days

maintenance dose:

1 g/kg bw

or

every 2 to 4 weeks

or

2 g/kg bw every 4 to 8 weeks over 2 to 5 days

Method of administration

For intravenous use.
Human normal immunoglobulin should be infused intravenously at an initial infusion rate of 0.3 ml/kg 
bw/hr for approximately 30 min. If well tolerated, the rate of administration may gradually be 
increased to a maximum of 4.8 ml/kg bw/hr.
In PID patients who have tolerated the infusion rate of 4.8 ml/kg bw/hr well, the rate may be further 
increased gradually to a maximum of 7.2 ml/kg bw/hr.
If dilution prior to infusion is desired, Privigen may be diluted with 5% glucose solution to a final 
concentration of 50 mg/ml (5%).

Special precautions

In case of adverse reaction, either the rate of administration must be reduced or the infusion stopped.
It is strongly recommended that every time Privigen is administered to a patient, the name and batch 
number of the product are recorded in order to maintain a link between the patient and the batch of the 
product.



35

Incompatibilities

This medicinal product must not be mixed with other medicinal products except those mentioned in 
the section below.

Special precautions for disposal and other handling

The product should be brought to room or body temperature before use. A vented infusion line should 
be used for the administration of Privigen. Always pierce the stopper at its centre, within the marked 
area.
The solution should be clear or slightly opalescent and colourless or pale yellow. Solutions that are 
cloudy or have deposits should not be used.
If dilution is desired, 5% glucose solution is recommended. For obtaining an immunoglobulin solution 
of 50 mg/ml (5%), Privigen 100 mg/ml (10%) should be diluted with an equal volume of the glucose 
solution. Aseptic technique must be strictly observed during the dilution of Privigen.
Once the vial has been entered under aseptic conditions, its contents should be used promptly. Because 
the solution contains no preservative, Privigen should be infused as soon as possible.
Any unused medicinal product or waste material should be disposed of in accordance with local 
requirements.

{'Title': '1. what privigen is and what it is used for', 'Section_Content': 'what privigen is privigen belongs to the class of medicines called human normal immunoglobulins. immunoglobulins are also known as antibodies and are blood proteins that help your body to fight infections. how privigen works privigen contains immunoglobulins that have been prepared from the blood of healthy people. the medicine works in exactly the same way as the immunoglobulins naturally present in human blood of healthy people. what privigen is used for privigen is used for the treatment of adults and children (0-18 years) in the following situations: a) to increase abnormally low immunoglobulin levels in your blood to normal levels (replacement therapy): 1. patients who are born with a reduced ability or inability to produce immunoglobulins (primary immunodeficiencies (pid)). 2. patients with an acquired immunodeficiency (sid) who suffer from severe or recurrent infections, ineffective antimicrobial treatment and either proven specific antibody failure or serum igg level of <4 g/l. b) to treat certain inflammatory disorders (immunomodulation). there are 5 groups: 1. patients who do not have enough blood platelets (primary immune thrombocytopenia (itp) and who are at high risk of bleeding or will have surgery in the near future. 2. patients with guillain-barré syndrome. this is an acute disease that is characterised by inflammation of the peripheral nerves that causes severe muscle weakness mainly in the legs and upper limbs. 3. patients with kawasaki disease. this is an acute disease that primarily affects young children. it is characterised by inflammation of blood vessels throughout the body. 4. patients with chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (cidp). this is a chronic disease that is characterised by inflammation of the peripheral nerves that causes muscle weakness and/or numbness mainly in the legs and upper limbs. 5. patients with multifocal motor neuropathy (mmn). this is a slowly progressive disease of the motor nerves with weakness of arms and legs.', 'Entity_Recognition': [{'Text': 'privigen', 'Type': 'PRODUCT_NAME', 'BeginOffset': 0,

{'Title': '2. what you need to know before you are given privigen', 'Section_Content': ' read this section carefully. the information given should be taken into consideration by you and your doctor before you are given privigen. do not take privigen if you are allergic to human immunoglobulins or to proline. if you have developed antibodies against immunoglobulins of the type iga in your blood. if you suffer from hyperprolinaemia type i or ii (a genetic disorder causing high levels of the amino acid proline in the blood). this is an extremely rare disorder. only a few families with this disease are known worldwide. warnings and precautions which circumstances increase the risk of having side effects? tell your doctor or healthcare professional prior to treatment if any of the circumstances listed below applies to you: you receive this medicine in high doses either on 1 day or over several days and you have a blood group a, b or ab and/or you have an underlying inflammatory condition. in these circumstances, it has been commonly reported that immunoglobulins increase the risk of breakdown of red blood cells (haemolysis). you are overweight, are elderly, have diabetes, have been bedridden for a long time, have high blood pressure, have low blood volume (hypovolaemia), have problems with your blood vessels (vascular diseases), have an increased tendency for blood clotting (thrombophilia or thrombotic episodes) or have a disease or a condition which causes your blood to thicken (hyperviscous blood). in these circumstances, immunoglobulins may increase the risk of heart attack (cardiac infarction), stroke, blood clots in the lung (lung embolism), or blockage of a blood vessel in the leg, although only very rarely. you are diabetic. although privigen does not contain sugar, it may be diluted with a special sugar solution (5% glucose), which could affect your blood sugar level. you have or had previously problems with your kidneys or take medicinal products that may harm your kidneys (nephrotoxic medicinal products). in these circumstances, immunoglobulins may increase the risk of serious rapid loss of kidney function (acute renal failure) although only very rarely. loss of kidney function with fatal outcome has occurred in isolated haemolysis- related cases. what kind of monitoring is required during the infusion? for your personal safety, treatment with privigen will take place under the supervision of your doctor or healthcare professional. you will usually be observed during the whole infusion and for at least 20 minutes thereafter. in certain circumstances, special precautions may be necessary. examples of such circumstances are: you are receiving privigen at a high infusion rate or you are receiving privigen for the first time or after a long break in treatment (e.g. several months). in these cases you will be closely observed during the whole infusion and for at least 1 hour afterwards. when may slowing or stopping the infusion be required? 28 you may be allergic (hypersensitive) to immunoglobulins without knowing it. however, true allergic reactions are rare. they may occur even if you have previously received human immunoglobulins and had tolerated them well. it may happen particularly if you have developed antibodies against immunoglobulins of the type iga. in these rare cases allergic reactions such as a sudden fall in blood pressure or shock may occur (see also section 4 "possible side effects"). in very rare cases transfusion-related acute lung injury (trali) can occur after receiving immunoglobulins. this will lead to non-heart related accumulation of fluid in the air spaces of the lungs (non-cardiogenic pulmonary oedema). you will recognize trali by severe difficulty in breathing (respiratory distress), abnormally low level of oxygen in the blood (hypoxemia), normal heart function (left ventricular function) and increased body temperature (fever). symptoms typically appear within 1 to 6 hours after receiving treatment. tell your doctor or healthcare professional immediately if you notice such reactions during the infusion of privigen. he or she will decide whether to decrease the infusion rate or to stop the infusion completely. blood tests tell your doctor about your treatment with privigen prior to having any blood tests. after receiving privigen, the results of certain blood tests (serological tests) may be impaired for a certain time. information on safety with respect to infections privigen is made from human blood plasma (this is the liquid part of the blood). when medicines are made from human blood or plasma, certain measures are put in place to prevent infections being passed on to patients. these include: careful selection of blood and plasma donors to make sure those at risk of carrying infections are excluded, the testing of each donation and pools of plasma for signs of virus/infections, the inclusion of steps in the processing of the blood or plasma that can inactivate or remove viruses. despite these measures, when medicines prepared from human blood or plasma are administered, the possibility of passing on infection cannot be totally excluded. this also applies to any unknown or emerging viruses and other types of infections. the measures taken are considered effective for enveloped viruses such as human immunodeficiency virus (hiv), hepatitis b virus and hepatitis c virus, and for the non-enveloped hepatitis a virus and parvovirus b19. immunoglobulins have not been associated with hepatitis a or parvovirus b19 infections, possibly because antibodies against these infections, which are contained in the product, are protective. it is strongly recommended that every time you are given a dose of privigen the name and batch number of the product are recorded in order to maintain a record of the batches used. other medicines and privigen tell your doctor or healthcare professional if you are using, have recently used or might use any other medicines. vaccinations tell your vaccinating doctor prior to a vaccination about your treatment with privigen. after receiving privigen, the efficacy of certain vaccinations may be impaired. affected are vaccinations with live attenuated virus vaccines such as vaccinations against measles, mumps, rubella and varicella. such vaccinations should be postponed for at least 3 months after the last infusion of privigen. in the case of measles vaccinations the impairment may persist for up to 1 year. therefore, your vaccinating doctor should check the effectiveness of the measles vaccination. pregnancy and breast-feeding tell your doctor or healthcare professional if you are pregnant, plan to become pregnant or are breast-feeding. your doctor will decide whether you can receive privigen during your pregnancy or while you are breast-feeding. medicines containing antibodies have been used in pregnant and breast-feeding women. long-term experience has shown that no harmful effects during the course of the pregnancy or to the newborn are to be expected. if you receive privigen while you are breast-feeding the antibodies in this medicine will also be found in the breast milk. thus, also your baby can receive the protective antibodies. driving and using machines patients may experience effects, such as dizziness or nausea, during treatment

{'Title': '4. possible side effects', 'Section_Content': 'like all medicines, this medicine can cause side effects, although not everybody gets them. possible side effects may be reduced or even avoided by infusing privigen at a slow infusion rate. such side effects may occur even if you have previously received human immunoglobulins and tolerated them well. in rare and isolated cases, the following side effects have been reported with immunoglobulin preparations: severe hypersensitivity reactions such as a sudden fall in blood pressure or anaphylactic shock (e.g. you may feel light-headed, dizzy, faint on standing, cold in the hands and feet, sense an 30 abnormal heart beat or chest pain, or have blurred vision) even when you have shown no hypersensitivity on previous infusions, tell your doctor or healthcare professional immediately if you notice such signs during the infusion of privigen. he or she will decide whether to decrease the infusion rate or to stop the infusion completely. formation of blood clots which may be carried off in the blood circulation (thromboembolic reactions) and which may result e.g. in myocardial infarction (e.g. when you have sudden chest pain or shortness of breath), stroke (e.g. when you have a sudden onset of muscle weakness, have loss of sensation and/or balance, decreased alertness or difficulty in speaking), blood clots in the arteries of the lungs (e.g. when you have chest pain, difficulty in breathing or are coughing up blood), deep vein thrombosis (e.g. when you have redness, feel warmth, pain, tenderness, or have a swelling of one or both legs), chest pain, chest discomfort, painful respiration due to transfusion related lung injury (trali) tell your doctor or healthcare professional immediately if you have any of the above symptoms. anyone experiencing such symptoms should immediately be transported to a hospital emergency room for evaluation and treatment. temporary non-infectious meningitis (reversible aseptic meningitis), tell your doctor or healthcare professional immediately if you have a stiff neck together with one or more of the following symptoms: fever, nausea, vomiting, headache, abnormal sensitivity to light, mental disturbances. increase in blood creatinine level, proteinuria, acute renal failure, transient decrease in red blood cells (reversible haemolytic anaemia/haemolysis), anaemia, leukopenia, anisocytosis (including microcytosis). side effects observed in controlled clinical studies and in post-marketing experience are presented in o rder of decreasing frequency: very common (may occur with more than 1 in 10 patients): headache (including sinus headache, migraine, head discomfort, tension headache), upset stomach (na usea), pain (including back pain, pain in extremity, pain in joints and bones (arthralgia), neck pain, fac ial pain), fever (including chills), flu-like illness (including runny nose (nasopharyngitis), sore throat ( pharyngolaryngeal pain), blisters in mouth and throat (oropharyngeal blistering), throat tightness. common (may occur with up to 1 in 10 patients): temporary lowering of red blood cell count (anaemia), breakdown of red blood cells (haemolysis), decreased number of white blood cells (leukopenia), hypersensitivity, dizziness (including vertigo), high blood pressure (hypertension), flushing (including hot flush, hyperaemia), hypotension (including decreased blood pressure), breathlessness (dyspnoea including chest pain, chest discomfort, painful breathing), vomiting, loose stools (diarrhea), stomach pain, skin disorder (including rash, itching (pruritus), hives (urticaria), maculopapular rash, redness of the skin (erythema), peeling of the skin (skin exfoliation)), pain in the muscles (including muscle cramps and rigidity), tiredness (fatigue), physical weakness (asthenia), weakness in the muscles, . routine laboratory tests may commonly reveal changes to liver functions (hyperbilirubinaemia) as well as changes in blood count (e.g. coombs\' (direct) test positive), increased alanine aminotransferase, increased aspartate aminotransferase, increased blood lactate dehydrogenase). uncommon (may occur with up to 1 in 100 patients): temporary non-infectious meningitis (reversible aseptic meningitis), irregularity of red blood cell shape (microscopic finding), presence of high platelet counts in the blood (thrombocytosis), sleepiness, shiver (tremor), palpitations, tachycardia, thromboembolic events, lack of blood supply to the lower extremities causing e.g. pain when walking (peripheral vascular disorder), presence of an excess of serum proteins in the urine (proteinuria including increased blood creatinine), injection site pain 31 in isolated cases (post-marketing experience), the following have been observed in patients treated with privigen: abnormally low level of specific white blood cells called neutrophils (decreased neutrophils counts), anaphylactic shock, painful respiration due to transfusion related lung injury (trali) and acute renal failure. if you get any side effects, talk to your doctor or healthcare professional. this includes any possible side effects not listed in
