About Rhoclone 300mcg Injection 1's

Rhoclone 300mcg Injection 1's belongs to the class of medications called ‘immunising agents’ used to prevent rhesus disease. Rhesus factor type D (RhD) is a special characteristic of human red blood cells. People who carry the RhD factor are called RhD positive, and those who don’t carry the RhD factor are called RhD negative. Rhesus disease occurs if there are mixed blood types of RhD-positive and RhD-negative. It can happen in the case of a pregnant woman when the mother is RhD negative, and the baby is RhD positive and people who have received mismatched transfusion ((RhD negative child or adult who have accidentally received RhD positive blood).

Rhoclone 300mcg Injection 1's contains ‘Anti-D (Rh) immunoglobulin’, an immunising agent. Immunoglobulins or antibodies are essential to the immune response and help by protecting against viruses to prevent infection. Rhoclone 300mcg Injection 1's works by neutralising the RhD-positive antigens that may have entered an RhD-negative person’s blood. Rhoclone 300mcg Injection 1's is not recommended for use in positive RhD patients and individuals already immunised to RhD antigen.

Rhoclone 300mcg Injection 1's is available as an injection and given by a healthcare professional. Rhoclone 300mcg Injection 1's may cause side effects such as pain and tenderness at the injection site. These side effects are usually mild and temporary. However, if any of these side effects persist or worsen, inform your doctor immediately.

It is not recommended to take Rhoclone 300mcg Injection 1's if you are allergic to human immunoglobulin or other ingredients. Before taking Rhoclone 300mcg Injection 1's, inform your doctor if you had vaccination recently within the last 2 to 4 weeks, have blood clotting problems, or have thrombocytopenia (decreased number of platelets in the blood). Rhoclone 300mcg Injection 1's is intended for use in pregnant women and is probably safe for breastfeeding mothers.
