Product Description

Atgam 250mg Injection is a purified and sterile form of gamma globulin. It is isolated from the hyperimmune plasma of horses immunized with human white blood cell components. It is used after kidney transplantation along with other therapies to treat as well as delay organ rejection. After solid organ transplantation, the body generates an aggressive immune response because it recognizes the transplanted organ's antigens as a foreign antigen. Thus, treatment with immunosuppressive agents is necessary after an organ transplant to prevent organ rejection.

 

Uses of Atgam 250mg Injection:

• Treatment and delay of acute rejection in patients who have undergone kidney transplantation.
• Adjunct therapy with other immunosuppressant drugs to produce immunosuppression.
• Reduction of T-cell function in bone marrow transplantation and aplastic anaemia.
