Respigam injectable

Generic Name: respiratory syncytial virus immune globulin (RSV IG) (injectable) (RES pir tory SIN sih shull VYE rus ih MUNE GLAW byoo lin)

Brand Names: Respigam

What is RSV IG?

Respiratory syncytial virus immune globulin (RSV IG) is a sterilized solution obtained from pooled human blood. It contains the immunoglobulins (or antibodies) to protect against infection from respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), a virus that can cause serious illness in children. Antibodies are substances in the blood that fight infections.

RSV IG is used to help prevent or reduce the severity of lower respiratory tract (lung) disease caused by respiratory syncytial virus in children who are at increased risk.

RSV IG may also be used for purposes other than those listed here.

What is the most important information I should know about RSV IG?

RSV IG is made from human plasma (part of the blood) and may contain infectious agents (e.g., viruses) that can cause disease. Although RSV IG is screened, tested, and treated to reduce the possibility that it carries an infectious agent, it can still potentially transmit disease. Discuss with the doctor the risks and benefits of using RSV IG.

Treatment with immune globulin products such as RSV IG has been associated with the development of kidney problems, sometimes resulting in kidney failure and/or death. Notify the doctor immediately if symptoms such as decreased urination, sudden weight gain, fluid retention or swelling, or shortness of breath occur. These may be signs of kidney problems. Rare cases of aseptic meningitis syndrome (AMS) have been associated with the use of immune globulin products such as RSV IG. Notify the doctor immediately if symptoms such as severe headache, neck stiffness, drowsiness, fever, eye sensitivity to light, painful eye movements, and nausea or vomiting occur. These may be signs of AMS. Stopping treatment with the immune globulin has resulted in resolution of AMS without any lasting problems.

What should I discuss with my healthcare provider before using RSV IG?

Do not use RSV IG without first talking to your doctor if you have

• 
  

  kidney disease;

  
  


• 
  

  diabetes;

  
  


• 
  

  IgA deficiency; or

  
  


• 
  

  had a previous allergic reaction to an immune globulin product.

  
  

You may not be able to use RSV IG, or you may require a dosage adjustment or special monitoring during treatment.

RSV IG is in the FDA pregnancy category C. This means that it is not known whether it will be harmful to an unborn baby. Do not use RSV IG without first talking to your doctor if you are pregnant or could become pregnant during treatment. It is not known whether RSV IG passes into breast milk. Do not use RSV IG without first talking to your doctor if you are breast-feeding a baby.

How should I take RSV IG?

RSV IG will be administered by intravenous (into a vein) injection by a healthcare provider in a hospital or clinic setting. If RSV IG is being administered at home, your healthcare provider will give you detailed instructions regarding administration.

RSV IG is usually administered once a month during the RSV season. Your healthcare provider will give you detailed instructions on when the medication should be administered.

Your doctor may want to perform monitoring during treatment with RSV IG to monitor progress and side effects.

Your healthcare provider will store RSV IG as directed by the manufacturer. If RSV IG is being stored at home, your healthcare provider will give you storage instructions.

What happens if I miss a dose?

Contact your healthcare provider if a dose of RSV IG is missed.

What happens if I overdose?

Seek emergency medical attention or contact your healthcare provider if an overdose of RSV IG is suspected.

No information is available regarding an overdose of RSV IG.

What should I avoid while taking RSV IG?

Vaccinations that use live strains of the virus (e.g., measles, mumps, and rubella or MMR) given during and for approximately ten months following treatment with RSV IG may not produce the desired response. Additional doses of the vaccine may be necessary to ensure effectiveness.
