How Rhophylac Is Given

Rhophylac is not a self-administered medicine. It is given by a doctor, nurse, or midwife as an injection into a muscle or vein, in a clinic or hospital. The dose and timing depend on the situation, such as the stage of pregnancy or the event that has occurred, and are decided by your healthcare provider. In pregnancy, it is commonly given at a routine point in the third trimester and again shortly after delivery if the baby is RhD-positive. Never attempt to obtain or use this medicine without medical supervision.
