Gamunex-C (immune globulin) is a sterilized solution made from human plasma. It contains the antibodies to help your body protect itself against infection from various diseases.

Gamunex-C injection is used to treat primary immunodeficiency (PI). This includes, but is not limited to, congenital agammaglobulinemia, common variable immunodeficiency, X-linked agammaglobulinemia, Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome, and severe combined immunodeficiencies. Gamunex-C is also used to increase platelets (blood clotting cells) in people with idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP).
