Winrho Sdf 300 Mcg Inj 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).
Winrho Sdf 300 Mcg Inj 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. Winrho Sdf 300 Mcg Inj works by neutralising the RhD-positive antigens that may have entered an RhD-negative person’s blood. Winrho Sdf 300 Mcg Inj is not recommended for use in positive RhD patients and individuals already immunised to RhD antigen.
