tnalawson--my dose is 10% in a 300ml bag. the manufacturer is gammunex IVIG for 5 days every 2 weeks right now. i am unsure of the conversion when you are saying 400mg??? they start slow, based on weight and then go up every 15-30 minutes as you tolerate it. . . . good luck with your husband's treatment. i really hope it helps!
