1. WHAT INTRATECT 100 G/L IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Intratect 100 g/L is an extract of human blood which contains
antibodies (the body’s own defensive
substances) to diseases, available in the form of a solution for
infusion. The solution is ready for infusion
into a vein (a “drip”).
Intratect 100 g/L contains human normal immunoglobulin (antibodies)
from blood donated by a broad
spectrum of the population and is likely to contain antibodies to most
common infectious diseases.
Adequate doses of Intratect 100 g/L can restore normal values when
blood levels of Immunoglobulin G
(IgG) are low.
INTRATECT 100 G/L IS USED IN ADULTS, CHILDREN, AND ADOLESCENTS (0–18
YEARS) WHO DO NOT HAVE SUFFICIENT
ANTIBODIES (REPLACEMENT THERAPY) IN CASES OF:
•
Patients who are born with a lack of antibodies (primary
immunodeficiency syndromes, PID)
•
Acquired lack of antibodies (secondary immunodeficiency syndrome, SID)
in patients who suffer
from severe or recurrent infections and ineffective antimicrobial
treatment with either proven specific
antibody failure or low IgG level (< 4 g/L)
INTRATECT 100 G/L IS ALSO USED IN ADULTS, CHILDREN, AND ADOLESCENTS
(0–18 YEARS) TO T
