Dosage and Route Given immediately, particularly if uncertain of patient's immunization record, deep IM Adverse Reactions Hives, local inflammation, tenderness at site of injection. Anaphylactic reactions very rare. Antigen Source Botulinum toxin Production Process Plasma of healthy horses that have been immunized with the exotoxin is pooled, fractionated and dialyzed. Major form IgG. Indications For treatment of botulism. Treatment does not prevent the spread of the disease.

The earlier given the better in order to reduce mortality. Antigen Source Drug hapten complex of digoxin covalently linked to human albumin Production Process Healthy sheep are immunized with a digoxin-albumin conjugate. The plasma is harvested and after fractionation, the antibodies are isolated by affinity chromatography Indications For treatment of life threatening acute digoxin and digitoxin intoxication. Digoxin Fab binds molecules of digoxin, thus reducing the amount of free digoxin available to bind to its receptor. The dose amount varies according to the amount of digoxin or digitoxin to be neutralized.
