SCIG Therapy (Subcutaneous Immunoglobulin Treatment)
Flexible, Self-Administered Immunoglobulin Therapy at Home
-
SCIG therapy, or subcutaneous immunoglobulin treatment, is used to support patients with immune deficiencies and certain chronic conditions through regular, smaller-dose infusions administered under the skin.
At Mercy Infusion, we provide SCIG therapy with expert guidance, patient education, and ongoing support so you can manage treatment confidently at home.
Our goal is to help you transition to therapy smoothly, with a plan that fits your routine and lifestyle.
What Is SCIG Therapy
-
SCIG therapy delivers immunoglobulin through small, subcutaneous infusions rather than through an IV.
This approach allows for more consistent dosing and greater flexibility, often enabling patients to administer treatment at home on a regular schedule.
For patients living with immune deficiencies or autoimmune conditions, SCIG can provide steady immune support while reducing the need for frequent visits to an infusion suite.
Common uses include:
- Primary immunodeficiency disorders
- CIDP and certain neurologic conditions
- Autoimmune diseases
We take the time to educate and support patients so they feel confident managing their therapy independently.

Our team works closely with your physician to determine if SCIG is appropriate based on your condition and treatment plan.
