Clinical studies have shown that taking doxycycline within 72 hours of unprotected sex can effectively prevent certain sexually transmitted infections.

While some patients experience relief shortly after an infusion, a significant number, particularly those with Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyneuropathy (CIDP), may not show initial improvement until after a second intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) course. This gradual timeline highlights the importance of understanding what is a delayed response to IVIG, encompassing both therapeutic effects and potential adverse reactions that occur days after treatment.
