Default Q about first time IVIG

Hi, can someone explain me this:
The first time IVIG you have to get the treatment every day for one/two weeks. After that, you'll only need it once every few weeks.
What is the reason behind this? Is there a medical reason?

Or is it possible for someone who has never had it, has severe MG symptomes but isn't in a crisis, can just try and have it once?
Or does it always have to start with this kind of "attack" therapy? If so, why?
