IVIG is given into a vein ("intravenously"), in an infusion that usually takes one to four hours.

It may be given as a one-time infusion (such as for Kawasaki's disease). For other diseases, it may be given from anywhere between one to five days on a monthly basis. Frequency and duration of infusions depend on the underlying disease and the clinical course. IVIG can take several weeks to fully take effect.

The recommended initial infusion rate is 0.5 mg/kg/min (0.005 mL/kg/min). If the infusion is well tolerated, the rate may be gradually increased to a maximum of 8 mg/kg/min (0.08 mL/kg/min).

The rate is gradually increased every 30 minutes based on tolerability, up to a max rate of 5 mL/kg/hr x 72 kg = 360 mL/hr, until the complete dose of IG has been administered.
