There are TWO different non-hyperimmune intramuscular immunoglobulin products available in New Zealand. Please check you know which one you will be getting to get the prescription correct.

• Normal Immunoglobulin
  a 16% solution prepared from New Zealand donor plasma and manufactured by the same company that make PrivigenNZ, CSL Behring.
• GamaSTAN
  a 16% solution manufactured from European and American donor plasma to the same requirements as Normal Immunoglobulin. Due to changes in manufacturing scheduling, GamaSTAN-SD is replacing Normal Immunoglobulin for the foreseeable future.

There is currently one subcutaneous product available in New Zealand.

• Hizentra
  a 20% solution, is prepared from European and American donor plasma by the same manufacturer as Privigen NZ, CSL Behring.

• Privigen NZ
  a 10% solution, is prepared from New Zealand donors' plasma by the same manufacturer as Privigen NZ, CSL Behring. This is the new default intravenous immunoglobulin product.
• Privigen
  As New Zealand is not entirely self-sufficient for subcutaneous immunglobulin, we also have Privigen, manufactured in exactly the same way as Privigen NZ but from European and American donor plasma.
• Gamunex
  a 10% IVIG solution manufactured by Grifols. This is only for patients who cannot tolerate Privigen or PrivigenNZ. We have a small stock of Gamunex. This is available only after discussion with a New Zealand Transfusion Medicine Specialist.
