Tetglob 1000IU Injection

About this Medicine

Tetglob 1000IU Injection is recommended for treatment of tetanus following injury in patients whose tetanus immunization is incomplete or uncertain. Tetanus causes convulsions (seizures) and severe muscle spasms that can be strong enough to cause bone fractures of the spine. Tetglob 1000IU Injection provides immediate, short-term protection against the bacteria that causes tetanus (lockjaw). A single intramuscular (IM) injection is generally recommended for children and adults, with part of the dose infiltrated around the wound if it can be identified. This protection lasts long enough to protect your body until your body can produce its own antibodies against tetanus. It is to be administered only by or under the supervision of your doctor or other healthcare professional. You may experience reactions such as slight soreness, pain and swelling at the site of injection injections and and slight temperature elevation. If you experience any othe symptoms on receiving the injection, let your doctor know. They may be able to help ways to manage the side effects. Before receiving this injection, let your doctor know if you have any bleeding disorders. Avoid receiving the injection if you have a known history of allergy with this medicine. Pregnant and breastfeeding women should consult their doctors before receiving this injection.
