Gamulin Rh is a term used to refer to a specific blood product known as human immunoglobulin. It is a highly refined and purified form of immunoglobulin G (IgG), which is a type of antibody found in human blood plasma. The prefix "Rh" suggests that this particular blood product is derived from human sources.
Human immunoglobulins, such as Gamulin Rh, play a crucial role in the body's immune response. They are responsible for recognizing and neutralizing foreign substances, such as bacteria, viruses, and toxins, that may enter the body. By binding to these harmful agents, immunoglobulins mark them for destruction by other components of the immune system.
Gamulin Rh is typically used as a treatment for individuals with certain conditions that affect their immune system, such as primary immunodeficiency disorders or autoimmune diseases. It can help supplement their inadequate immune response or modulate their overactive immune system, respectively.
The manufacturing process of Gamulin Rh involves collecting plasma from volunteer human donors who pass stringent eligibility criteria. This plasma is then rigorously tested, processed, and purified to remove any potential contaminants or infectious agents. The resulting product is a concentrated and standardized formulation of human immunoglobulins, ready for clinical use.
As with any blood product or medicinal treatment, the use of Gamulin Rh should only be performed under the supervision and prescription of a healthcare professional.
