What to expect
Make your HyQvia infusion experience one you’re comfortable with.

HYQVIA is a liquid medicine that is given under the skin (subcutaneously) to treat primary immunodeficiency (PI) in adults.
Infusing HyQvia is all about learning and understanding the process. That’s why Mary and Michael decided to open their homes and share their routine. To help others understand, get familiar, and become comfortable not only with what to expect but creating a routine specific to you.
A ramp-up schedule, given to you by your healthcare provider, helps you become comfortable with your treatment and ultimately, that you get to the level of protection from infection. You’ll receive the first dose of HyQvia and ramp-up gradually. This lets your body take the time to get used to something new. Your dose will eventually shift from 1 time a week to 1 time every 3 or 4 weeks, depending on the frequency your doctor prescribes you. Dose adjustments may be necessary based on your clinical response. Below is a helpful chart.
HyQvia can be infused every 3 or 4 weeks in either the stomach or thighs.
Following your infusion with HyQvia, it’s not uncommon to experience a temporary,
soft swelling at the infusion site. This is due to the volume of fluid infused and may
last 1 to 3 days after your infusion.
