Pentaglobin 5gm Injection 100ml

Pentaglobin 5gm Injection 100ml is an immunostimulant drug in the category of immunoglobulin derivatives, containing the active ingredient Human Normal Immunoglobulin. It is used as a replacement therapy for individuals with primary immunodeficiency disorders (PIDs), where the body’s immune system cannot produce sufficient antibodies to fight off infections. The medication is also used to modulate or regulate the immune system in certain autoimmune and inflammatory conditions. It can help reduce excessive inflammation and suppress abnormal immune responses.

This drug is contraindicated in individuals with known hypersensitivity or allergy to it or its component. Stop taking this tablet and contact your doctor immediately if you develop a rash or skin symptoms. If you have a selective IgA deficiency, there is a risk of developing antibodies against IgA. In such cases, normal human immunoglobulin should be used cautiously or avoided altogether. Inform your physician if you have a history of IgA deficiency.
