Personalized Dosing & Administration

Allison is a working mother with 3 young children. After talking with her doctor, she chose Hizentra so she could fit her infusions around her busy work and home-life schedule. Allison asked her doctor about appropriate places to infuse, and now she can avoid infusion-appointment interruptions by deciding where and when she self-infuses. She needs a dosing schedule that won't get in the way of work and taking care of her kids.
