Description

Anti-D immunoglobulin is used to prevent RhD immunization in RhD-negative women, particularly during pregnancy or after childbirth. However, the typical concentration and volume of Anti-D immunoglobulin injections are not specified as 1 mL in standard medical references. Instead, doses are usually measured in International Units (IU) rather than volume.

Common Doses

• Antenatal Prophylaxis: 500 IU (100 mcg) is commonly administered at 28 and 34 weeks of gestation, or a single dose of 1500 IU (300 mcg) between 28-30 weeks24.

• Postpartum Prophylaxis: 500 IU (100 mcg) or 1500 IU (300 mcg) within 72 hours after delivery if the baby is RhD-positive24.

Administration

Anti-D immunoglobulin is administered intramuscularly. It should be given as soon as possible after a sensitizing event, ideally within 72 hours12.

Side Effects

Common side effects are mild and may include injection site reactions. Serious side effects are rare but can include allergic reactions.

If you are referring to a specific product labeled as “Anti-D Immunoglobulin 1ml Injection,” it might not be a standard formulation. The typical dosing is based on IU rather than mL volume. Please consult specific product guidelines for accurate information
