Key Benefits
Rhogam 300 mcg Injection 15 ml contains ‘Anti-D (Rh) immunoglobulin’, which is used to prevent rhesus disease. Rhogam 300 mcg Injection 15 ml is recommended for use in RhD-negative women who are carrying, just delivered, or have lost an RhD-positive baby. It is also recommended for RhD-negative women carrying RhD-positive babies if the pregnant woman has a severely complicated pregnancy, if the baby’s RhD-positive blood passes into the mother’s blood circulation, if the doctor needs to perform testing methods to identify fetal deformities, if the doctor is trying to move the baby from outside, or if the mother experiences abdominal trauma (injury to gut or stomach). Rhogam 300 mcg Injection 15 ml is also administered during the third trimester of pregnancy if the pregnant woman’s blood type is RhD negative. This is called routine antenatal anti-D prophylaxis. Rhogam 300 mcg Injection 15 ml is also given to people who had mismatched transfusions (RhD-negative child or adult who have accidentally received RhD-positive blood).
