Immunorel 10gm Injection

Introduction

Immunorel is a prescription medication that contains Human Gamma Globulin as its active ingredient. It is available in the form of an injection and is commonly used to treat certain medical conditions.

Uses

Immunorel is prescribed for various conditions that involve a weakened immune system. It is commonly used to prevent or reduce the severity of infections in individuals with primary immunodeficiency disorders, such as common variable immunodeficiency (CVID) or X-linked agammaglobulinemia (XLA). It can also be used as an immunomodulatory therapy in certain autoimmune disorders.

Dosage and Administration

The dosage of Immunorel will vary depending on the individual’s specific condition and response to treatment. Follow the instructions provided by your healthcare professional. The injection is usually administered intravenously (into a vein) or subcutaneously (under the skin). The frequency of administration and the dose will be determined by your healthcare provider.

Mechanism of Action

Immunorel contains Human Gamma Globulin, which is a concentrated form of antibodies that are naturally produced by the body’s immune system. When administered, it helps to supplement or replace the deficient or malfunctioning antibodies in individuals with immunodeficiency disorders. By doing so, it boosts the immune response and provides protection against infections.

Side Effects

Common side effects may include headache, fatigue, fever, or injection site reactions such as redness, swelling, or pain. These side effects are usually mild and temporary.

Serious side effects are rare but can occur. If you experience any severe or persistent side effects, such as difficulty breathing, chest pain, or severe allergic reactions, seek immediate medical attention.

Drug Interactions

inform your healthcare provider about all the medications you are currently taking, including prescription, over-the-counter, and herbal products. Some medications may interact with Immunorel, potentially affecting its effectiveness or increasing the risk of side effects. Your healthcare provider will review your medications and advise you accordingly.

Precautions

Before using Immunorel, inform your healthcare provider about any known allergies or sensitivities, as well as any other medical conditions you may have. Discuss any previous adverse reactions to immunoglobulin therapy.

Immunorel should not be used in individuals with a known hypersensitivity to human immunoglobulin. Be cautious if you have a history of blood clotting disorders or kidney problems.

Storage

Immunorel should be stored in a refrigerator at a temperature between 2°C and 8°C (36°F and 46°F). Do not freeze the medication. Keep it away from direct sunlight and out of the reach of children.
