IMMUNOGLOBULIN HUMAN HEPATITIS B 180 IU/ml

Therapeutic Action

Human Hepatitis B Immunoglobulin contains mainly immunoglobulin G (IgG) with a specifically high content of antibodies against hepatitis B virus surface antigen (HBs).

Indications

Post-exposure prophylaxis (often in combination with hepatitis B vaccine) after an Accidental Exposure to Blood (AEB) in specific settings.

For other indications (post-exposure prophylaxis for victims of sexual violence, newborn of a hepatitis B virus carrier-mother/HBV PMTCT), the added value is limited and restricted to specific situations. In these cases, the request should be evaluated by the HQ advisor on a case-by-case basis and considered as an exception.

Instructions for use

Must be given by IM route.

To be combined with vaccination against hepatitis B virus. The first vaccine dose can be injected the same day as immunoglobulin, in different sites.

Precautions for Use

Do not administer by IV route (risk of anaphylactic shock).

If a large volume (>2 ml for children or >5 ml for adults) is required, administer in divided doses at different sites.

Active immunisation with live virus vaccines (e.g. measles, mumps or rubella) should be postponed for 3 months after the last administration of Human Hepatitis B Immunoglobulin, as the efficacy of the live virus vaccine may be impaired.

As with all injectable vaccines and/or immunoglobulins, appropriate medical treatment should always be readily available in case of rare anaphylactic reactions following the administration of the product.

Storage

  • Keep refrigerated between 2ºC and 8ºC - Protect from sunlight
  • Do not freeze.
  • Do not use solutions that are cloudy or have deposits.
