HyQvia dosing information

HyQvia [Immune Globulin Infusion 10% (Human) with Recombinant Human Hyaluronidase] comes in a dual vial unit—one vial of Immune Globulin Infusion 10% (Human) Solution [IG 10%] and one vial of Recombinant Human Hyaluronidase.1

The HyQvia dose is based on the immune globulin (IG 10%) component, which provides the therapeutic effect. Dispersion and absorption of the 10% IG is facilitated by the Recombinant Human Hyaluronidase.1

HyQvia initial monthly* dosing (following ramp-up) may vary depending on whether patients are switching from intravenous immune globulin (IVIG) treatment or conventional subcutaneous immune globulin (SCIG) treatment.1

*Every 3 or 4 weeks.

HyQvia dosing calculator

Determine dosage range

To determine the dosage ranges for a patient, select the weight closest to the patient’s weight in the window on the left. Dosage ranges will appear in grams. See Full Prescribing Information for additional dosage recommendations. A conversion factor of 2.2046 lb/kg is used to convert the patient’s weight to kilograms. The values displayed are rounded to the nearest decimal point.

What is the patient's weight?

Dosage range to be prescribed every 3-4 weeks or per patient needs

This calculator does not represent every possible weight calculation. Weights begin as 24 lb and increase in 4 lb increments to 288 lb.

Select available HyQvia vial combinations based on dosage

When available HyQvia solution vial sizes cannot be combined to equal the calculated IG dose, the dose must be rounded up or down.
The Physicians should make this determination based on their clinical judgment and HyQvia vial sizes.

HyQvia doses, based on available vial combinations, are shown in the table below.

Switching patients to HyQvia

When switching to HyQvia, dose and frequency are determined by whether a patient is switching from an IVIG or a SCIG.1


Patients switching from IVIG treatment  

Same dose and frequency of IVG
(after initial ramp-up)


Patients switching from SCIG  

300 to 600 mg/kg at 3- or 4-week intervals
(after initial ramp-up)

How to ramp up HyQvia

There is a ramp-up period for HyQvia which allows patients to become familiar with the volumes required for a full 3- or 4-week treatment.1

Initial treatment and HyQvia ramp-up schedule

Treatment with HyQvia is initiated by gradually increasing the dose and decreasing the frequency from a 1-week dose to a 3- or 4-week dose.

Dosage during this ramp-up period is calculated by dividing the total 3- or 4-week therapeutic dose as shown in the graph.

The first dose of HyQvia should be given approximately 1 week after the last infusion of the previous treatment.
