Immunoglobulin deficiency and inflammatory disorders such as primary immune thrombocytopenia, Guillain-Barre syndrome, Kawasaki disease, chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy, and multifocal motor neuropathy.

Medicinal Benefits:

Plasmaglob 10gm Injection acts by replacing the deficient antibodies that are necessary to act against infections and inflammation. It works exactly as the immunoglobulins present in the body. Immunoglobulins are an important part of the immune system, which recognizes the antigens or foreign elements in the body and causes their destruction. It is used to treat immunoglobulin deficiency in people with primary immunodeficiency or PID (present from birth) and secondary immunodeficiency or SID (developed in the later stages of life). Plasmaglob 10gm Injection is also used to treat inflammatory disorders such as primary immune thrombocytopenia (reduced number of platelets), Guillain-Barre syndrome (short-term inflammation of the peripheral nerves causing weakness of legs and upper limbs), Kawasaki disease (inflammation of blood vessels in children), chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy or CIDP (long-term inflammation of peripheral nerves), and multifocal motor neuropathy (progressive disease leading to weakness of arms and legs).
