Rhophylac® comes in a single box or a 10 pack with each syringe containing a guaranteed 300-mcg dose for either IV or IM administration. IV administration may be more comfortable and convenient for use in the hospital in women who already have IV lines in place. For even more convenience, Rhophylac® has a three-year shelf life from date of manufacture—the longest of any anti-D product.
IV:
To use Rhophylac®, break off the top of the syringe, which will fit your needleless IV tubings. Simply attach it to the tubing and administer the dose as a slow IV push. If the patient requires more than one syringe, consider waiting two hours between administrations. If you use an IV tubing system that is not compatible with the Rhophylac® syringe, call CSL Behring at 800-655-3396 to request a shipment of adaptors at no cost. (See FAQs for more information about using an adaptor with the Rhophylac® syringe and other IV systems.)
IM:
Connect the syringe to the needle and administer the dose into the muscle. For additional safety after administering the dose, Rhophylac® offers a safety glide shielding needle with a one-hand convenient covering of the needle following injection, to reduce the chance of needle-stick accidents. To optimize the IM injection, Rhophylac® uses a
1 1/2-inch 21 gauge needle to ensure that the dose reaches the muscle. Additionally, our needle can be changed to fit the size of the patient.
