Rho (D) Immune Globulin

Rho (D) Immune Globulin is a sterile solution of globulins derived from human plasma containing antibody to the erythrocyte factor Rh? (D) antigen. Rho (D) Immune Globulin is used to prevent a Rh-negative mother from forming antibodies to fetal Rh-positive cells which may pass into the maternal circulation. The objective is to protect any subsequent child from the hazard of the haemolytic disease of the newborn. Anti-D immunoglobulin should be administered following any sensitizing episode e.g abortion, miscarriage and birth.
