What precautions apply to Human Hepatitis B Immunoglobulin?

Ivhebex should be used with careful clinical assessment and monitoring.

- Assess hepatitis B status: confirm need for passive immunization before administration. - Monitor for allergic reactions: observe patients for signs of anaphylaxis during and after infusion. - Evaluate renal function: consider dose adjustment or close monitoring in patients with renal impairment. - Avoid in individuals with known IgA deficiency: risk of severe hypersensitivity. - Use with caution in pregnancy: safety category unknown, weigh benefits against potential risks. - Store at 2-8°C: keep refrigerated, protect from light, do not freeze or shake.
