Animal reproduction studies have not been performed with IGIM, IGIV, or immune globulin subcutaneous and it is not known whether immune globulins can cause fetal harm when administered to pregnant women. Some manufacturers state that immune globulin should be used during pregnancy only when clearly needed.
ACIP states that there are no known risks associated with use of immune globulins for passive immunization in pregnant women.
Intact immune globulins, such as those contained in IGIV, cross the placenta in increasing amounts after 30 weeks of gestation. Results of studies in pregnant women with ITP who received IGIV prior to delivery indicate that the platelet response and clinical effects of IGIV were similar in the mother and neonate.
Animal reproduction studies have been performed with the recombinant human hyaluronidase component of immune globulin subcutaneous 10% with recombinant human hyaluronidase (Hyqvia(R)). In mice and rabbits, antibodies to recombinant human hyaluronidase (anti-rHuPH20 antibodies) that developed in the mother were not associated with adverse effects on pregnancy; these antibodies crossed the placenta and were transferred to offspring in utero. It is not known whether anti-recombinant human hyaluronidase antibodies that develop in women cause fetal harm. The manufacturer states that Hyqvia(R) should be used during pregnancy only if clearly needed,
IGIV and immune globulin subcutaneous have not been evaluated in nursing women.
It is not known whether immune globulin is distributed into milk following IM, IV, or subcutaneous administration, affects milk production, or affects the breast-fed infant.
Immune globulin should be used with caution in nursing women. The benefits of breast-feeding and the importance of immune globulin to the woman should be considered along with the potential adverse effects on the breast-fed infant from the drug or from the underlying maternal condition.
The manufacturer of immune globulin subcutaneous 10% with recombinant human hyaluronidase (Hyqvia(R)) states that data are not available regarding use in nursing women. In lactating animals, maternal antibodies bound to recombinant human hyaluronidase (anti-rHuPH20 antibodies) were transferred to nursing offspring; no adverse effects on pregnancy or offspring development were associated with these antibodies. The possible effects of these antibodies to recombinant human hyaluronidase that may be transferred to infants are unknown.
