Uses

Rhesuman 300mcg Injection is used in the prevention of rhesus disease. The detailed uses of Rhesuman 300mcg Injection are as follows:

  • Prevent hemolytic disease of the newborn (HDN): Rhesuman 300mcg Injection is administered to Rh-negative pregnant women to prevent their immune system from attacking the Rh-positive red blood cells of the fetus, which can lead to HDN, a serious condition causing anemia and jaundice in newborns.
  • Postpartum protection for future pregnancies: Rhesuman 300mcg Injection is given within 72 hours after childbirth if the baby is Rh-positive, helping prevent sensitization that could affect future pregnancies.
  • Manage Rh incompatibility during pregnancy events: Rhesuman 300mcg Injection is used after events like miscarriage, abortion, amniocentesis, or trauma during pregnancy where fetal blood might mix with maternal blood, reducing the risk of Rh sensitization.
  • Support Rh-negative individuals receiving Rh-positive blood: Rhesuman 300mcg Injection helps prevent immune reactions in Rh-negative patients who receive Rh-positive blood transfusions.

Medicinal Benefits

Rhesuman 300mcg Injection 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). Rhesuman 300mcg Injection 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. Rhesuman 300mcg Injection is also given to people who had mismatched transfusions (RhD-negative child or adult who have accidentally received RhD-positive blood).
