What is HyperRHO Mini Dose S/D?
HyperRHO s/d Mini Dose contains a sterilized solution of human blood. Most people (Rh positives) have Rh in their blood, but others (Rh negatives) do not. Rh-negative people can be exposed by a mismatched blood transfusion or when the baby is born with the opposite blood type. This exposure will cause the Rh-negative blood to produce antibodies that try to destroy Rh-positive blood cells. It can lead to medical complications such as low red blood cells, kidney failure, or shock.HyperRHO MiniDose can be used to prevent a response to Rh-positive blood in those with Rh-negative blood types. This medicine can also be used to treat immune thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP).HyperRHO MiniDose can be used in other ways not mentioned in the medication guide.
