- Transfusion of Rh incompatible blood or blood products
Pharmacology
Anti-D immunoglobulin prevents a rhesus-negative mother from actively forming antibodies to foetal rhesus-positive RBCs that may pass into the maternal circulation during childbirth, abortion, or certain other sensitising events. It is also used in idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura to prevent excessive bleeding.
Dosage & Administration
One dose 250 mcg should be given IM immediately or as soon as possible after delivery, or abortion of a Rh-positive child, preferably within 48 hours, but not later than 72 hours post-partum.
Following any potentially sensitizing episode (e.g stillbirth, amniocentesis) up to 20 weeks of gestation 125 mcg per episode (after 20 weeks of gestation, 250 mcg) immediately or within 72 hours.
For antenatal prophylaxis 250 mcg should be given in week 28 & also week 34 of pregnancy. The injection must only be given deep intramuscularly. Do not inject intravenously.
