Synagis is the only humanised monoclonal antibody for the prevention of respiratory syncytial virus. The preventive medication is designed to bind to a protein on RSV, effectively neutralising the virus. In lab experiments, Synagis was 50 to 100 times more potent than the previously available RSV hyperimmune globulin that required intravenous administration, allowing a smaller volume to be administered. Q: Is there an RSV vaccine available? At this date, there are no safe and effective RSV vaccines. There are two effective preventive agents available. Respigam (respiratory syncytial virus immune globulin intravenous), a polyclonal antibody, provides effective prevention against RSV, and Synagis (palivizumab), a monoclonal antibody, which provides protection against serious lower respiratory tract infections caused by RSV in infants and children at high risk for RSV disease. Synagis is more potent than Respigam, and is administered by simple, monthly IM injections. Q: What is Synagis (Palivizumab)? Synagis is a monoclonal antibody produced by recombinant biotechnology, which is specifically designed to neutralize respiratory synical virus (RSV). Monthly intramuscular (IM) injections of Synagis prior to and during the RSV season have been shown to significantly reduce RSV hospitalizations in infants at high risk. The ads I heard on the TV were for another product. They are really putting the pressure on.

But its important to know the terminology in order to be listened to out there in the world. So, just trying to clarify so you know exactly what things are. Yes, I agree it is probably not a good thing either - no different than injecting vaccines. But vaccines are given before to prevent a disease (doesn't mean it works) and these drugs are given over and over and are supposedly to prevent recurrance. They are different in that they don't profess to give you lasting immunity. I'm sorry if you were offended, but it is extremely important to know which are which and certainly wasn't trying to put you down.

Guest guest Posted January 26, 2001 Report Share Posted January 26, 2001 No, I don't think so, unless it was done without my knowledge, and behind my back. The baby was with me the whole eight hours I was in the hospital, except to go and have a bath. So.. they could have stuck her then, but I did not know. She was born in 1989. They did do a heel stick on her though.. for PKU. We were in and out of the hosptial three different times for the RSV. It took a couple of days for them to figure out just what it was. I think we spent a total of 7 or 8 days in the hospital. Apparantly, that paticular year was bad for RSV. Though we did have to go and stay in the hospital, she did fine. The first few nights were not easy, but she needed oxygen and to be monitored so she we would be aware if she quit breathing. Though it was pretty hard on her then, she doesn't have upper resp. problems now. Once she was rid of the virus, it was just gone... sharon in rainy southern California >Yes, being in the hospital could be enough.

Guest guest Posted February 13, 2004 Report Share Posted February 13, 2004 well i know all about rsv i have 6 kids and one other of them was hopsitalized and one was really sick and the rest if they ahd it was soo mild i never knew it was more than a cold but i never had a child born as early as they claim corbyn was i think he was closer to 37wks but they say no 35 anyhow he ended up in the nicu for a big for lung problems and now this but this is short and not as tramtic as his birth and nicu stay was but i didnt knwo there was a vaccine he should have gotten for it anyhow until he was hosptialized at our childerns hospital and they asked why he hadnt had it i said i dunno lol well now i know i dont think he will need it now haha but i dont know what the quaifcations are but i dont blame you for living in a bubble myolder kids bring alot of that crap home to us lucky us eh nice to meet ya btw Hillymom to 6ages 12,7,5,4,2,8moshttp://64.216.130.105/hilly rsv Hilly-Tavin does get the RSV vaccine which does cut his chances of gettingRSV. I just didn't want to take the chance of him getting so seriously ill.He had to have emergency abdominal surgery at 3 months old. I NEVER want tostep foot into that children's hospital again!! So I just stay at home inour Lysoled little bubble!!Just last week my husband had a cold. Tavin and I bunked in the dining roomto keep away from daddy and his cooties!!! Plus, I spend a lot on Lysol andClorox wipes. I wipe and spray everything from door knobs to my car keys.I guess I am a bit obsessed, but I work in, (or should say worked-doesn'tlook like I will ever go back) in a nursing home. I know how things spread,bleckkkkk!!!That is terrible that the hospital did not inform you of RSV. I had neverheard of it. But right after I gave birth they were hurling all kinds ofinfo at me about it. He was a 31 weeker born at the end of August. Hequalifies for the shots this year but most likely not next year.Personally, I would talk to the hospital administrator to find out theirpolicy on letting parents know about RSV. Someone has to inform parents...Isn't it amazing what you learn and more importantly, DON'T learn when youbring your baby home from the hospital. We have all read books, searchedthe internet, etc.... but who knew their heads could change shape sodrastically or that a cold could kill them!!! Ugh....

Guest guest Posted November 2, 2005 Report Share Posted November 2, 2005 Hi Tonya I'm sorry I don't have any definate information for your friend, I hope she is able to come to a decision that she is comfortable with. I'm not sure what the chances of her baby actually getting RSV are but my gut feeling would be to say no to any drugs at this stage. How is the baby's health? Is your friend able to breastfeed? If the baby is able to get some breastmilk then this is surely the best defence against getting anything. Hopefully she can get out of that hospital as quickly as possible - I've always thought that hospitals are the worst places in the world for new borns (especially premmies!) - so many more chances of coming into contact with potential nasties there!! Wish her all the best!! Regards Debbie > > I have a friend with a preemie that was born on October 11th, 6 wks > early.
