Cuvitru what class of drug?

What class is Cuvitru (immune globulin) in?

Cuvitru is a brand of subcutaneous immunoglobulin (SCIg), which is made from human plasma. It belongs to the immunoglobulin (antibody) replacement therapy drug class—specifically intravenous/subcutaneous immune globulin products used to replace missing antibodies in certain immune deficiencies.

What is it used for?

Cuvitru is typically prescribed for patients who need antibody replacement due to primary immunodeficiency (for example, common variable immunodeficiency/Bruton’s agammaglobulinemia) and related conditions where the body does not make enough antibodies.

Is it an IV drug or a subcutaneous injection?

Cuvitru is given under the skin (subcutaneous infusion), which is why it’s classified as subcutaneous immune globulin rather than intravenous immune globulin.
