How it Works:
Rhophylac contains anti-D antibodies, which bind to Rh-positive red blood cells and prevent the mother’s immune system from recognizing and attacking them. This helps to prevent the development of Rh antibodies, which can cause serious complications in future pregnancies.
Uses:
- Prevention of Rh Incompatibility: Rhophylac is given to Rh-negative women during and after pregnancy to prevent Rh sensitization.
- Treatment of Immune Thrombocytopenic Purpura (ITP): In some cases, Rhophylac may be used to treat ITP, a condition that causes low platelet counts.
Important Considerations:
- Side Effects: Common side effects include mild fever, chills, and injection site reactions. More serious side effects, such as allergic reactions, are rare but possible.
- Medical Supervision: Rhophylac is administered by a healthcare professional and requires careful monitoring for any adverse reactions.
