What is Cytogam?

Cytogam is an FDA (U.S. Food and Drug Administration) approved medication manufactured by CSL Behring. CytoGam (Cytomegalovirus Immune Globulin Intravenous) (CMV-IVIG), is an immunoglobulin G (IgG) containing a standardized amount of antibody to Cytomegalovirus (CMV).

Cytomegalovirus Immune Globulin Intravenous (Human) is indicated for the prophylaxis of cytomegalovirus disease associated with transplantation of kidney, lung, liver, pancreas, and heart. In transplants of these organs other than kidneys from CMV seropositive donors into seronegative recipients, prophylactic CMV-IVIG should be considered in combination with ganciclovir.

What doses of Cytogam are available?

Cytogam is available in injection form, in the following doses: 50 mg in 1 mL.

The recommended rate of CytoGam infusion for prophylaxis of CMV disease in solid organ transplant patients is 60 mg Ig/kg/hr.

Always speak with a healthcare professional for medical advice or about any changes to your dose so they can monitor and evaluate your condition.
