Cure Hydration To Reduce IVIG Side Effects

November 01, 20251 min read

Reduce IVIG Side Effects With Cure Hydration

At Culver Pediatrics Center, we have the privilege of caring for children affected by PANDAS/PANS. One of the treatment strategies is monthly IVIG infusions, which involves spending two days at an infusion center for treatment.

This game-changing therapy can have serious side effects including headaches, nausea, vomiting, and fatigue often from volume depletion and hyperviscosity.

Ensuring adequate hydration helps maintain intravascular volume, reduces blood viscosity, and supports renal perfusion, and prevents volume depletion during IVIG infusions. We recommend for our families to hydrate before, during, and after the infusion to reduce the risk of side effects from IVIG.

Cure Hydration is our preferred electrolyte drink mix to complement free water hydration because it is:

  • Perfectly Balanced Electrolyte Mix Based on WHO's Oral Rehydration Solution

  • Plant-Based and Vegan

  • Gluten-Free

  • No Added Sugar, Artificial Sweeteners, or Sugar Alcohols

  • No Artificial or Synthetic Flavors, Colors, Sweeteners, or Dyes

Children with PANDAS/PANS often describe their symptoms as "My brain is on fire", due to the inflammation from antibodies from infectious triggers attacking their brains. Refined sugars, artificial dyes, and synthetic ingredients cause further inflammation. Cure Hydration's clean ingredients are less likely to increase inflammation of an already vulnerable brain.
