Product Introduction

Gammaren 5gm Injection 100ml is an immunostimulant drug belonging to the immunoglobulin derivatives category, containing the active ingredient Human Normal Immunoglobulin. It is used as replacement therapy for patients with primary immunodeficiency disorders (PIDs), in which the immune system cannot produce sufficient antibodies to combat infections. The medication is also used to modulate 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 it or its components. Discontinue use and contact your doctor immediately if you develop a rash or skin symptoms. Patients with selective IgA deficiency face 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.

After receiving Gammaren 5gm Injection 100ml, a temporary decrease in white blood cell concentration may occur, a condition termed neutropenia (low neutrophil count), which typically resolves spontaneously within a week. The administration of normal human immunoglobulin may interfere with the effectiveness of live attenuated vaccines. It is advisable to avoid live vaccines for a certain period following this medication.

Overdose of Gammaren 5gm Injection 100ml may lead to fluid overload, particularly in patients with pre-existing heart failure or compromised renal function. Patients with such conditions require careful monitoring during infusion. Inform your doctor of any heart, thyroid, kidney, or liver disease. Your physician may prescribe a low dose and perform regular blood tests. Use of this medicine during pregnancy or breastfeeding should be discussed with your physician.
