BHARGLOB 16.5 INJ 2ML

About

Bharglob 16.5 Injection is a preparation of human normal immunoglobulin (HNIG), derived from pooled human plasma. It contains a broad spectrum of antibodies (IgG) against various bacterial and viral pathogens, providing passive immunity. This medication is primarily used for prophylaxis against infections in individuals with primary or secondary immunodeficiencies, where the body's own antibody production is impaired or insufficient. It can also be used for post-exposure prophylaxis against certain infectious diseases, offering immediate, albeit temporary, protection.

The antibodies in Bharglob bind to and neutralize pathogens, enhancing the recipient's immune response and reducing the risk of severe infections. Administered via intramuscular injection, it is a crucial therapeutic option for patients requiring immediate or sustained immune support, helping to maintain adequate antibody levels and protect against a wide range of infectious agents.

Uses
