Hepatitis B immune globulin is a medicine used to prevent or treat infection with the hepatitis B virus. This medicine contains antibodies that help the body fight off viral attacks. In Hong Kong, hepatitis B immune globulin is commonly used to prevent hepatitis B virus infection, especially in situations of risk of exposure to the virus, such as contact with infected people or undergoing medical procedures. This medication is usually given by injection and should be used under the supervision of a healthcare professional. Mild injection site reactions such as redness, swelling, or pain may occur during use of hepatitis B immune globulin. If you are at risk for hepatitis B infection or are undergoing a medical procedure, consult your doctor for more information.
Usage: Hepatitis B immune globulin is an injectable dosage form, which is injected subcutaneously or intramuscularly by medical staff. Usually a fixed dose is injected each time, and it is not necessary to take it with meals. Excessive exercise or strenuous activity should be avoided after the injection to avoid affecting the efficacy of the drug.
Dosage Guidelines: Adults and adolescents are usually recommended to receive 200 to 400 units of medication per injection, depending on the severity of the condition. For children, the dose is adjusted according to body weight. The starting dose is usually 10 to 20 units per kilogram of body weight, but this should be adjusted based on your physician's instructions. During treatment, the dosage may be adjusted based on the patient's response and changes in the condition, and the patient should receive regular follow-up examinations by the physician to ensure the effectiveness of the treatment.
You may have side effects after taking hepatitis B immune globulin, including pain, redness, and swelling at the injection site. A few people may experience general discomfort such as headache, fatigue, muscle pain and fever. Serious side effects are rare but may include allergic reactions such as skin rash, difficulty breathing, and swelling of the throat. If serious side effects occur, seek medical attention immediately. Monitor liver function and immunoglobulin levels regularly while using this medication to ensure safety and effectiveness. If you have any doubts or discomfort, you should consult a doctor immediately.

Hepatitis B immune globulin (HBIG) should be used with caution during pregnancy. During pregnancy, use of HBIG may pose a risk to the fetus. If you suspect you are pregnant or plan to become pregnant, you should tell your doctor right away. Your doctor can assess the risk and provide appropriate advice.
An important reason to avoid HBIG during pregnancy is that the drug may enter the bloodstream of the fetus, posing a risk to its health. Before undergoing any medical procedure, you should ask your doctor if it is safe. Although HBIG is safe for many people, caution is needed when using it during pregnancy.
Remember to stay in close contact with your doctor and share any pregnancy-related information to ensure the health of you and your baby. Pregnancy is a special period and you should pay special attention to the possible effects of the medications you use on your baby.
