Additional Information for Rho (D) Immune Globulin
Rho (D) Immune Globulin, also known as Rh immune globulin or RhIg, is a medication classified under Drugs And Biologicals in the supply group Medical, Dental, And Veterinary Equipment And Supplies.
Rho (D) Immune Globulin is a blood product that contains antibodies against the Rh factor. It is used to prevent Rh sensitization in Rh-negative individuals who are exposed to Rh-positive blood. Rh sensitization can occur during pregnancy or after a blood transfusion, and it can lead to complications in future pregnancies.
When a Rh-negative individual is exposed to Rh-positive blood, such as during childbirth or a miscarriage, the body may produce antibodies against the Rh factor. These antibodies can cross the placenta during a subsequent pregnancy and attack the red blood cells of the Rh-positive fetus, leading to a condition called hemolytic disease of the newborn.
Rho (D) Immune Globulin works by preventing the production of these antibodies. It is typically given as an injection to Rh-negative individuals within 72 hours of exposure to Rh-positive blood. The medication helps to suppress the immune response and reduce the risk of Rh sensitization.
It is important to note that Rho (D) Immune Globulin is a prescription medication and should only be used under the guidance of a healthcare professional. The dosage and administration of the medication may vary depending on the specific situation and individual patient factors.
Please consult with a healthcare professional for more information about Rho (D) Immune Globulin and its appropriate use.
