Indication Dosage

Tetanus Immunoglobulin is used to prevent and treat tetanus, a serious bacterial infection commonly known as "lockjaw." It's given to people who have experienced a potentially contaminated injury (like a deep wound or dirty cut) to help their body fight off the tetanus bacteria and avoid getting sick. This medicine is like a shield that boosts your body's defense against tetanus if you've been exposed to it.
