Hypermunes™ products for hyperimmune globulin therapy are concentrated immunoglobulins used to treat patients whose immune systems have been compromised. Constant monitoring in steps of the manufacturing and delivery processes makes these biological products safe, easy, and convenient to use.
Vaccines often take weeks to confer full protection, creating a gap of immune vulnerability that may be life threatening. |
Optimize immune protection and close the gap by administering both and immunoglobulin and a vaccine. |
The products discussed herein may only be dispensed with a prescription from a doctor or healthcare provider.
To optimize protection, the greatest benefit comes from combining both active and passive immunization. Hypermunes™ products (Talecris Biotherapeutics hyperimmune globulin products) provide rapid passive immunity in the post-exposure period. When appropriate, concomitant vaccination will initiate an active immune response. Together, these therapies provide optimum immune protection.
Hyperimmune globulin therapy (passive immunization) offers rapid immune protection after exposure. Hyperimmune globulins contain high titers of specific antibodies and are available for prophylaxis against:
