Gammacord 5% Injection 100ml

Gammacord 5% Injection 100ml is an immunostimulant containing the active ingredient Human normal immunoglobulin, a member of the immunoglobulin derivatives class. It is used as replacement therapy for patients with primary immunodeficiency disorders (PIDs), where the immune system cannot produce sufficient antibodies to combat 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 patients with known hypersensitivity or allergy to human immunoglobulin or its components.

If you have 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.
