CONTRAINDICATIONS
GAMUNEX®, Immune Globulin Intravenous (Human), 10% Caprylate/Chromatography Purified, is contraindicated in individuals with known anaphylactic or severe systemic response to Immune Globulin (Human). Individuals with severe, selective IgA deficiencies (serum IgA <0.05 g/L) who have known antibody against IgA (anti-IgA antibody) should only receive GAMUNEX® with utmost cautionary measures, due to the risk of severe immediate hypersensitivity reactions including anaphylaxis.
