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). NORGLOBIN 5 GM INFUSION 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).
NORGLOBIN 5 GM INFUSION contains ‘Human normal immunoglobulin’, which replaces the deficient antibodies necessary to act against infections and inflammation. It works exactly as the immunoglobulins present in the body. Immunoglobulins are an essential part of the immune system, which recognises the antigens or foreign elements in the body and aids in their destruction. It also helps to reduce inflammation by improving immunity.
NORGLOBIN 5 GM INFUSION will be administered by a trained healthcare professional; hence do not self-administer. This may cause side effects such as swelling or hardening at the injection site and headache, pain in the face, back, arms, legs, joints, or neck, fever, flu-like illness (runny nose and sore throat), blisters in the mouth, and throat, and throat tightness. These side effects are usually mild and temporary. However, if any of the side effects persist or get worse, inform your doctor immediately.
It is not recommended to take NORGLOBIN 5 GM INFUSION if you are allergic to any of its contents or have blood clotting disorders. Before taking NORGLOBIN 5 GM INFUSION, inform your doctor if you have had any vaccinations recently or have already had this product recently. NORGLOBIN 5 GM INFUSION should be used with caution in people with immunoglobulin A (IgA) deficiency (IgA is a type of antibody that protects against infections). NORGLOBIN 5 GM INFUSION is probably safe when given to children, pregnant women, and breastfeeding mothers. NORGLOBIN 5 GM INFUSION should be used with caution in elderly people. NORGLOBIN 5 GM INFUSION may not interact with alcohol. NORGLOBIN 5 GM INFUSION may cause dizziness, so do not drive or operate heavy machinery if you feel dizzy.
