AntiD 300 mcg / 1ml liquid Injection falls under the category of medications known as 'immunising agents' prescribed to prevent rhesus disease. This injection is made with a particular immune system protein. It helps prevent a condition called hemolytic disease of the newborn (HDN) when there's a mismatch in blood types between the mother and baby.
During pregnancy, some women have a different blood type than their babies. This can lead to a risk of the mother's immune system attacking the baby's red blood cells, causing HDN. To avoid this problem, doctors give AntiD 300 mcg / 1ml liquid Injection to Rh-negative pregnant women at specific times during their pregnancy and after giving birth.
Before receiving an AntiD 300 mcg / 1ml liquid Injection, please let your doctor know if you've had a recent vaccination within the past 2 to 4 weeks, have any blood clotting issues, or suffer from thrombocytopenia (a reduced platelet count in your blood).
