Benefits of Rhogam Injection

In Prevention of Infections

Rhogam 300mcg Injection is an immunoglobulin (also known as antibody). It helps in preventing antibodies from forming after a person with Rh-negative blood receives a transfusion with Rh-positive blood. It also helps during pregnancy when a mother has Rh-negative blood and the baby is Rh-positive. It is administered routinely during the third trimester of your pregnancy if your blood type is RhD negative. This is because it's likely that small amounts of blood from your baby will pass into your blood during this time. It is to be administered only by or under the supervision of your doctor.

FAQs

What does anti-D antibody mean?

If you're RhD negative, your blood will be checked for the antibodies (known as anti-D antibodies) that destroy RhD positive red blood cells. If anti-D antibodies are detected in your blood during pregnancy, there's a risk that your unborn baby may get affected by rhesus disease.

Why do I need Rhogam 300mcg Injection?

Rhogam 300mcg Injection is needed to prevent a disease called Rhesus disease. This can help to avoid a process known as sensitisation in women. This is a condition when a woman with RhD negative blood is exposed to RhD positive blood and develops an immune response to it.

How is Rhogam 300mcg Injection administered?

Rhogam 300mcg Injection should be administered under the supervision of a trained healthcare professional or a doctor only and should not be self-administered.
