Immunoglobulin Antistaphylococcal

Antistaphylococcal immunoglobulin: use, side effects and special instructions

Antistaphylococcal immunoglobulin (IgAS) is a drug that contains antibodies to the bacterium Staphylococcus aureus. This drug is used to treat infections caused by this bacterium.

IgAS belongs to the group of immunoglobulins, which are protein compounds produced by the body in response to infection or the introduction of antigens. They help protect the body from infection by binding to antigens and helping to destroy them.

IgAS contains antibodies that specifically bind to S. aureus antigens. It is used to treat staphylococcal infections such as sepsis, pneumonia, osteomyelitis and others.

The drug is a liquid solution for injection. One dose of the drug contains at least 100 IU (medical units) of antialphastaphylolysin.

IgAS is contraindicated in case of hypersensitivity to its components. Before using the drug, you must ensure that there are no allergic reactions to its components.

Side effects when using the drug may include hyperemia at the injection site, fever and allergic reactions.

After administration of the drug, it is necessary to monitor the patient for 30 minutes for the possibility of developing allergic reactions. Antishock therapy should be prepared if necessary.

The drug is not suitable for use if the ampoules have lost integrity and labeling, have a change in physical properties, such as turbidity, intense coloring or the presence of unbreakable flakes, as well as if the expiration date has expired or improperly stored.

The interaction of IgAS with other drugs has not been studied.

Antistaphylococcal immunoglobulin is an effective drug for the treatment of staphylococcal infections. However, before using it, you must ensure that there is no hypersensitivity to its components and follow special instructions for its use.
