Marie is a grandmother of three who enjoys baking, knitting, and playing cards. Marie's veins were in poor shape after years of IVIg, so she talked to her doctor and decided to start Hizentra.

Ian is a marketing professional who loves to read in his free time. His previous IVIg dose of 40 grams required a large volume for each infusion that made him uncomfortable at times, so he spoke with his doctor and decided to try more frequent doses with Hizentra. Infusing once a week means less volume and time per infusion for Ian.
Dose: 14 g/70 mL
Infusion sites: 3

Sarah is a working mom with 2 kids who doesn't have much spare time. She spoke to her doctor and switched to Hizentra because she needs an infusion schedule that offers flexibility and freedom to fit the needs of her busy life.

Dose: 10 g/50 mL
Infusion sites: 2

Anthony is an active college student who enjoys sports and video games, and recently transferred to a new campus. The new distance from his IV clinic meant getting there was a hassle, so he and his doctor decided to try Hizentra. Because of his activity level and low body fat, they decided on a frequent infusion schedule, resulting in less volume and shorter infusions. Anthony and his doctor chose prefilled syringes since they may make his self-infusion process more convenient.
Dose: 6 g/30 mL
Infusion sites: 2
Time per infusion: ~38 minutes
