Cytogam

Generic Name: cytomegalovirus immune globulin (CMV IG) (injectable) (sye toe MEH gah loe vye rus ih MUNE GLAW byoo lin)
Brand Names: Cytogam

What is CMV IG?

Cytomegalovirus immune globulin (CMV IG) is a sterilized solution obtained from pooled human blood. It contains the immunoglobulins (or antibodies) to protect against infection from cytomegalovirus. Antibodies are substances in the blood that fight infections.

CMV IG is used to help prevent infection by cytomegalovirus in people who receive an organ transplant.

CMV IG may also be used for purposes other than those listed here.

What is the most important information I should know about CMV IG?

CMV IG is made from human plasma (part of the blood) and may contain infectious agents (e.g., viruses) that can cause disease. Although CMV IG is screened, tested, and treated to reduce the possibility that it carries an infectious agent, it can still potentially transmit disease. Discuss with your doctor the risks and benefits of using CMV IG.

Treatment with immune globulin products such as CMV IG has been associated with the development of kidney problems, sometimes resulting in kidney failure and/or death. Notify your doctor immediately if you develop decreased urination, sudden weight gain, fluid retention or swelling, or shortness of breath. These may be signs of kidney problems. Rare cases of aseptic meningitis syndrome (AMS) have been associated with the use of immune globulin products such as CMV IG. Notify your doctor immediately if you experience severe headache, neck stiffness, drowsiness, fever, eye sensitivity to light, painful eye movements, and nausea or vomiting. These may be signs of AMS. Stopping treatment with the immune globulin has resulted in resolution of AMS without any lasting problems.

What should I discuss with my healthcare provider before taking CMV IG?

Do not use CMV IG without first talking to your doctor if you have

kidney disease;
diabetes;
IgA deficiency; or
a previous allergic reaction to another immune globulin product.

You may not be able to use CMV IG, or you may require a dosage adjustment or special monitoring during treatment.

CMV IG is in the FDA pregnancy category C. This means that it is not known whether it will be harmful to an unborn baby. Do not use CMV IG without first talking to your doctor if you are pregnant or could become pregnant during treatment. It is not known whether CMV IG passes into breast milk. Do not use CMV IG without first talking to your doctor if you are breast-feeding a baby. Individuals over the age of 65 years may have an increased risk of kidney problems with the use of CMV IG. Your doctor may prescribe a lower dose of the medication or special monitoring during treatment.

How should I take CMV IG?

CMV IG will be administered by intravenous (into a vein) injection by a healthcare provider in a hospital or clinic setting.

Your doctor may want you to have blood tests or other forms of monitoring during treatment with CMV IG to monitor progress and side effects.

Your healthcare provider will store CMV IG as directed by the manufacturer. If you are storing CMV IG at home, your healthcare provider will provide storage instructions.

What happens if I miss a dose?

Contact your healthcare provider if a dose of CMV IG is missed.

What happens if I overdose?

Seek emergency medical attention or contact your healthcare provider if an overdose of CMV IG is suspected.

No information is available regarding an overdose of CMV IG.

What should I avoid while taking CMV IG?

Do not receive vaccines that use live strains of the virus (e.g., measles, mumps, and rubella or MMR) during and for approximately three months following treatment with CMV IG. These vaccines may not work properly when CMV IG has been recently administered.

CMV IG side effects

Other less serious side effects may also occur. Upon injection of the medication, some patients experience the following side effects:

flushing or sweating;
wheezing;
muscle cramps;
joint pain;

Side effects other than those listed here may also occur. Talk to your doctor about any side effect that seems unusual or that is especially bothersome.

What other drugs will affect CMV IG?

It is not known whether other medications will interact with CMV IG. Talk to your doctor and pharmacist before taking any prescription or over-the-counter medicines, including herbal products during treatment with CMV IG.
