Product Description

🔹 Product Overview
HepaRel 100 IU Injection is a prescription immunoglobulin injection used to provide immediate, short-term protection against Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection. It contains Human Hepatitis B Immunoglobulin 100 IU, which provides ready-made antibodies that help neutralize the Hepatitis B virus after potential exposure.
HepaRel is commonly used for post-exposure prophylaxis, including situations such as accidental exposure to infected blood, occupational exposure, and prevention of Hepatitis B transmission in newborns at risk. It is usually administered by a qualified healthcare professional and may be used along with the Hepatitis B vaccine as advised.
