Tetglob (Tetanus Immunoglobulin I.P.) is administered through injections, with the specific method depending on whether it's for prophylaxis (prevention) or therapeutic treatment.
Administration Methods
Here's how Tetglob is typically given:
-
Prophylactic Use: Tetglob is given as an intramuscular injection for preventing tetanus.
-
Therapeutic Use: Tetglob can be administered intramuscularly or intrathecally for treating tetanus.
Important Considerations for Intramuscular Injections
- Dosage: If large doses (5ml) are required, it is advisable to administer them in divided doses at different sites. This helps with absorption and minimizes discomfort.
In summary, Tetglob administration involves intramuscular injection for prevention and intramuscular or intrathecal injection for treatment, with attention to dosage size and injection sites.
