Mechanism Of Action Of Anti-D (Rh0) Immunoglobulin 300 Mcg Syringe

• Rhophylac contains Rho (D) immune globulin. Rho (D) immune globulin is a sterilized solution made from human blood. Rh is a substance that most people have in their blood (Rh positive) but some people don't (Rh-negative). A person who is Rh-negative can be exposed to Rh-positive blood through a mismatched blood transfusion or during pregnancy when the baby has the opposite blood type. When this exposure happens, the Rh-negative blood will respond by making antibodies that will try to destroy the Rh-positive blood cells. This can cause medical problems such as anemia (low red blood cells), kidney failure, or shock.
