Varicella immune globulin is an injection used to prevent infection with the chickenpox virus. This medicine contains antibodies to the chickenpox virus, which helps the body fight the virus. Varicella immune globulin is usually given within 96 hours of exposure to the varicella virus to reduce symptoms and prevent infection. In Hong Kong, this drug is mainly used in people who are susceptible to the chickenpox virus, such as individuals with weakened immune systems or those who have not received the chickenpox vaccine. After receiving varicella immune globulin treatment, you should pay close attention to any adverse reactions, such as allergic reactions or other symptoms of discomfort. If you have any questions or concerns, you should consult your doctor immediately.
Instructions for use: Use VARICELLA IMMUNE GLOBULIN only under the guidance of a medical professional. Typically, this medication is given by injection. Injection sites may include muscles or veins, follow your physician's advice. Before use, please make sure that there is no abnormality in the appearance of the medicine, and be careful to avoid turbid or granular medicinal solutions.
Dosage Guidelines: Dosage may vary for adults and children. For adults, the generally recommended starting dose is based on the physician's prescription and may be adjusted based on the patient's condition and needs. For children, dosage is usually calculated based on body weight. Please strictly follow your physician's instructions.
There may be specific dietary or activity restrictions while using VARICELLA IMMUNE GLOBULIN, please follow your physician's advice. If you have any adverse reactions or concerns, please inform your medical professional immediately.
