About GAMUNEX-C® Infusion Therapy
GAMUNEX-C® is a medication that blocks the autoimmune and inflammatory processes that cause nerve damage in chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP).
Condition treated by this therapy
GAMUNEX-C® is approved to treat primary humoral immunodeficiency disease (PIDD) in patients 2 years of age and older. If you have PIDD, you may take GAMUNEX-C® under the skin (subcutaneously) or in a vein (intravenously).
GAMUNEX-C® Price
The cost of prescription medications can vary depending on your insurance coverage. If you're concerned about the price of your medication:
